As I continue to unpack a 3400c/Kanga stash stuff comes up that I don’t remember from when it all was put away.
Comes now a 3400c with a startup issue. It chimes, the HD spins up, it takes some time to check the RAM and the LCD backlight comes on - and that’s it. No Happy Mac, no HD reading...
I’m trying to get a Radius GS/C-MP video card to work in my IIci.
The particulars: Recapped MLB IIci with 32 MB RAM, the card in Slot “D”, a M1297 AppleColor HiRez RGB monitor, SS 7.5.2, RadiusWare versions 2.3.2 or 3.2.5. The RadiusWare installer loads two Control Panels and one Extension. The...

Google tells me that MacSnap is gear for early Classic Macs - 128s, 512s and the like - but I do not find anything specific about an "Aux. ROM Board".

Known good ROM SIMM
Known good all RAM modules
