I vaguely remember shoving a Daystar into mine.

Most things that will plug into the IIci PDS will
also work in the IIvi, IIvx and Performa 600.
The Turbo 601 works so I don't see any reason for the
Turbo 040 to not. IIRC, the Turbo 040 models all had
L2 cache. The 030 PowerCache had 32K, the Turbo 601
had 128K.

If the System isn't FAT or PPC only it's not going
to boot any PowerMac. Did you try it with extentions
disabled?

Re: Hardware problems with LC II

Well, as far as I know, most of the LC II's parts date back to 1991. And we
all know that when it comes to high technology, a year is worth a century...

By the way, I've had a hard time searching for Italian System 7.1 disk
images lately, but it seems they're unavailable over the WWW, even at Apple.
Any clues?

The d2 Silverlining pre-boot panel comes up and shows the drive is 
available at ID 0 on Bus 1, but the flashing ? comes up and the machine 
refuses to boot full stop until I insert a bootable CD. At that point 
it boots from the CD as normal and the drive mounts to the desktop and 
is accessible. I could try doing a fresh OS install but I don't know if 
that will help 'til i do it ;-)

Yeah that stupid Silverlining splash screen will come up even if there is 
no data on the drive.

Just 'nuke and pave' and you should be fine.

 Well now you've got me scratching my head.   The SEIV is a Fast & Wide
 card, isn't it?   As far as I know there's no Ultra-SCSI card for
 NuBus Macs.   Theoretical maximum on a F&W bus is 20 MB/s.  So I'm
 sitting here slack jawed trying to figure out how you got 30 MB/s out
 of a 20 MB/s maximum speed bus.  :-)Is there a detail missing
 here?  Two SEIVs in the same machine perhaps?
The jury is still out here. I can't work out from my extensive googling
what it is but there seem to be a majority of people flagging it as
Ultra-Wide. I certainly thought it was. And I did get more than 20MB/s
off it.
Getting more than 20 MB/s is convincing.I would not rely on 
polling of folks or sites on the internet though.   However, if you 
know the people/source in question, that's a different matter.

The reason I would not rely on polling is that there are an awful lot 
of people out there who apparently never heard of Fast & Wide.So 
when they think they need to preface 'Wide' with some other SCSI 
words, they *always* say 'ultrawide' even when it isn't.  For 
example, some years ago OWC was selling the ST15150 as a Ultra-SCSI 
drive or Ultra-Wide SCSI drive (depending on whether it was an N or 
W) but the ST15150 was never Ultra.

what to do with a whole bunch of old macs?

[Leon Levin]

a small publishing company closed down around '96 and was 
moth-balled. recently I was asked to go in and clean it out. there 
are about a dozen old macs such as IIfx IIx, a couple of IICi's and 
LCs and quadra, etc haven't done a complete inventory. I hate to see 
these machines go into the trash. what can one do with them?  who 
could they be donated to? do they have any value or use?  I thought 
you people would know.  thanks

Private schools, after school programs, low-income families.

Be prepared to do a complete and thorough testing.
