Gamba, is there a schematic or >plans for this available anywhere? I wasn't quite clear after He has the schematic on his site; I just recently completed an eBay purchase of schematics for the cards themselves (Gamba, get a hold of me about this offlist) so we could go into full-scale cloning of these (I got *everything*) if we can find someone to produce. >reading the page on a couple of details.

Both of those will work fine if you put the Daystar card in the Cache slot. >Last question group. Has it been confirmed that the IIfx ROM will >work in the SE/30? Does it work well? What about the IIsi ROM? >Is the IIci ROM differnt from the IIsi? Yes, sort of, yes, very much. The IIfx ROM should "just work" although some software may need to be edited somewhat - Gamba has details on his site. It doesn't work perfectly - it gives a checkerboard screen on boot for about 30 seconds - but it works, or should. The IIsi ROM, if you can find one, is plug-n-play no problem. The IIci has soldered and/or DIP ROMs that won't work at all in an SE/30, IIsi, or IIfx. >I had a mystery ROM in my collection and just identified it as an >SE/30 ROM.
