I have a Quadra 650, with internal CD drive, that will happily boot from a SCSI hard disk, Zip drive, CD - it's a happy Mac. It's fast for a 68k too. But it won't boot from BlueSCSI. If I put a BlueSCSI in there then it just sits, all day, with a grey screen - only the mouse pointer visible. I did manage to get it to crash once on startup with the BlueSCSI, before fiddling with the images on the card, with 0000000F / 00000020. But if I put the hard drive back in the machine, it's happy once again.
Okay. So it's a dead BlueSCSI (not an impossibility given the quality of my soldering!)? But no. Because the same BlueSCSI boots my LCIIIs (both of them) and my LC475 fine. I'm perplexed. It's a revision 1.0 BlueSCSI with a 16GB SanDisk SD card. Any ideas, anyone?
