You need to go back and double check your drives for correct SCSI ID's and correct termination. Ken, I've set the drives on the JackHammer to get power from the bus, and the last one to provide termination. I believe it's correct. If I delete the stripe and replace it with simple partitions, both drives mount correctly, and have run a long test on the drives with no errors. It's only if I try to mount a striped array that I get a problem. Since this is the only reason (I can tell) for wanting to use FWB HDTK I'm really thinking this s/w is a con. John John, I have never used the FWB software for RAID ( I like Hard Disk Speed Tools from IntechUSA ) so can't give advice about the software. Make sure that you are not duplicating ID's, like having a drive on the internal bus set to 0 and one on the Jackhammer set to 0. While I understand that you should be able to do this for the sake of troubleshooting it is one less thing to have as a potential problem. You also may need to have an active terminator at the end of the cable in order for those Wide drives to operate correctly. -- Aloha, Ken -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I would sure like to see this upgrade card. I have a socketed mobo in one of my SE/30's and have been toying with the idea of pulling the 50MHz processor from an old Daystar upgrade for a II that I have lying around and slapping it in, then seeing how high I can actually chip the board without having problems. Not sure how well this would work since the FPU is soldered on the mobo so you can't simply replace it with the one from the Daystar, and I'm guessing that it probably won't run at 50MHz. -- Aloha, Ken -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: IIfx vs 386DX/40
What year was 7.5.5 released? Win95B came along in 1996. Could use Win95 plus the service pack to make it Win95a along with the Y2K update. Then both systems would be quite patchy. ;) This sounds like an excellent test of retro-computing, I'd love to post the pictures and text and results on my web page. I think you should perform the test with both machines running optimal OSes. OS 7.1 w/updates is by far the optimal OS for the IIfx in my mind, that is if you are going to test internet performance. Otherwise, OS 6.0.8 will blow the doors off the PC. Is Win95 optimal for the 386? It is a full 32-bit machine, so I guess yes (else, linux would scream, but it's not a mainstream OS, especially during the early '90's). I would think that the scaled down as possible Win95b would be best. Hope to see it happen, please notify me anyone who is preceding with it. I unfortunately own neither a 386DX40 nor the fx. I have a couple of SE/30's, ideas anyone? Best, David David Greelish Publisher classiccomputing.com The IIfx is a capable web machine if it is setup properly. I had 32MB of Ram in mine along with a Jackhammer card and fast 2gig SCSI drive and an 8*24GC video card. Running System 7.1 with some of the add in appearance enhancements (+ ThreadMngr/DragMngr etc...) it did quite well on the Internet using Netscape 2.02 and IE 2.01 IIRC . Performance with a 56K modem was acceptable and on par with a Pentium 266 machine running W95 that I had the great misfortune of having to use at work at the time. Running the IIfx with the addition of iCab and my ADSL connection it was a solid performer!

Re: IIsi and Daystar Turbo040
I just now finally had the opportunity to test out my IIsi with the Turbo040, thanks to the adapter John Ruschmeyer from LEMSwap so kindly sent me. As we all know, though, these things seldom go smoothly. When I started up the IIsi with the Turbo040 in it (on the adapter card, of course) and the cache attached, all I got was a sputtering noise from the Mac, and some fast blinking from the green power LED. I removed the Turbo040 card and adapter entirely. The IIsi booted fine. I removed the cache from the Turbo040 and tried it with the accelerator alone and the adapter. Same sputtering response from the Mac. I removed the accelerator but left the adapter card in the computer. It booted fine. Is a bad Turbo040 the only possibility here? (Guess I can't complain too much, I did get it for only $20, but still!) -- Amber Rhea [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well Amber If you have a IIci about, you could put the Turbo 040 into it's cache slot and see if it works. That way you could find out if the card itself is O.K. -- Aloha, Ken MacHeretic and Damn proud of it! http://www.macheretics.com/ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
