I love it!  I hit a local thrift store today and found a few Macs 
which was great.  The topper was when I pulled open the IIci.  I saw 
a card in it that I new wasn't a cache card since it had a big black 
heat sink over the whole card.  I popped that baby off and lo' and 
behold I see IBM and 601 on the big chip.  That's it I buy that over 
the 6150/66WGS.  (It also has a non-stock hd, a Quantum of some sort 
but didn't know the size of this since I couldn't get the model 
number, but it's half the height of the drives in my IIcx and IIci so 
I know that it isn't stock.)  I plug it in at the store and get the 
familiar start up sound.  That's good, so I may have a great steal 
but can't tell until I get it home and hook it up to my monitor.

I get home, hook it up and it works!  I get a screen full of teddy 
bears (desktop pattern) and clickable windows and hds and the whole 
lot.  I set up everything to the way I want it with 32-bit addressing 
on, the proper monitor settings, etc.  Here's where I do the oops.  I 
enable the 601 in the control panel and restart.  I hit the skids 
there. LOL.  I get the infamous ?-mark-in-the-floppy icon.  What 
happened there?  This is where I need help.  I recovered the drive 
when I zapped the PRAM.  So I'm good to go now and copy the drive to 
my backup drive.

What do I need to do to get the Turbo 601 card up and running beyond 
the control panel?  What is the best system (or only system) for 
this?  Thanks for any help.  Sorry for the long story, but I couldn't 
pass up telling the tale.
