I didn't mention plugging a IIci card directly into a IIsi; I was asking
about using IIci cache cards (and other 030 PDS cards) in a IIsi via the
DayStar adapter. The two slot adapter I have may be the "For the IIsi
they made a IIsi/IIci two slot combo adaptor" you mention...?
I wouldn't think of installing any card directly into the IIsi that
wasn't listed as compatible. But I'm still confused by the "fry your
card and/or mobo" warnings as they relate to the DayStar two slot adapter....
