Boot Speed vs High Ram Count - Quadra 950

[Zhinü]

I am pretty sure I've had it working. I think it's because of the patched AppleShare for 7.1 that LaPorta has mentioned. 7.5 does not need it, it already comes with a later version of AppleShare that will work with 10.4.11.

Cool! I assume it was released with System 7.5?

Oh, related to the RAM test problem, does the BMOW ROM work on the Quadra 950, and if so, is there a patched variant that retains the stock Mac icon/boot screen? While I like the little pirate mac, I prefer my systems to look mostly stock.

How did you put 245Mb in a IIsi? I thought 65MB was the max you could throw in one.

It is; so I cheat by using my IIsiFPGA as an extra memory controller 1 in Bank A (soldered), 4x1 in Bank B (SIMMs), 240 MiB of DDR3 through the FPGA... it's completely overkill but it's fun (except the boot time!).

That’s damn cool!
