With a IIfx ROM in my SE/30, it boots to the initial display called "SimasiMac" (which I recall seeing a recent discussion of in the archives), and takes several seconds (half minute?) to go to the regular boot screen. When I put back in the regular SE/30 ROM, it boots normally.
This only happens on a hard (or cold) boot ...restarts don't exhibit the symptom at all. Of course, using the IIfx ROM means that I don't have to use an extension to access the 128MB of RAM in the SE/30, which makes its continued use rather attractive to me. Does anyone else get the "SimasiMac" screen only when they're using the IIfx ROM (or the IIsi for that matter). Should I be concerned about this? (I haven't tried spraying electical contact cleaner on the logicboard as one post suggested in the archives, but I certainly will give that a try if the consensus seems to be in that direction.) Everything's working just fine otherwise (well, the d_mn! Nomai 750.c isn't - yet - working ...but everything *else* in this machine is working great), so I hate to "fix" something that ain't broke. ------- Brandon -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
