(I posted this in TinkerDifferent a few days ago. So far, no response, so I thought I'd try here)
I recently picked up two Radius Rocket Stage II cards via eBay.
One of them seems to be working (kind of). The other does not.
I'm testing them in a Mac IIfx.
The one that's working is only detecting 64MB of the 128MB RAM I installed. I have to do more testing to see if it's not detecting RAM in one of the banks. Is 64MB the max RAM it can use? I saw something that said the first gen cards could use 128MB.
The one that's not working does not detect RAM in either bank and the RocketShare program says there is a hardware problem.
Does anyone have a manual for the Stage II cards? So far, I've only found manuals for the original cards.
Does anyone have experience troubleshooting/fixing these cards? I wouldn't mind sending them off to someone with experience to diagnose and fix.
I'm in the Toronto/GTA area if anyone knows a local tech that might be interested.
I still have couple of weeks to request a return. I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying to fix the cards or just cut my losses.
