I am liking my new IIci. Problem is that I had the Daystar PowerCache 33 MHz first, and bought the IIci to go with it. The IIci starts and runs fine with the regular cache card installed, but with the PowerCache it freezes within a minute or so of startup. Happens every time.
Is there anything I should be looking for here? The PowerCache was new in the bag. I really don't know what else I can do for it. It looks ok. I would hate to throw my hands up and dismiss "it doesn't work" and move on, but unless I can fix it somehow I guess I'll need to. Incidentally, I have not installed the accelerator's software yet. The instructions say to install the card first, boot, and then install the software - so it should be booting.
Does anybody run dual internal hard drives? Since I was wondering about A/UX I thought maybe instead of the single scsi cable, I could use one of the longer multi-connector ones from another box. This is my first II so I am not yet aware of power issues or scsi quirks with these.
Just tried restarting it again with original cache and it works once more. Threw SampleCell II in there for kicks because it is here, seems ok. This box seems to run cooler than all of my other Macs, which is nice.
