Re: se/30 with Daystar IIsi adapter

[ralphpagan]

Yes I see...  Great idea, but a little pricey for such an old machine, or 
any machine for that matter. (23,900 yen = approx. $225USD), and will it 
solve the whole problem is the real question?  I went ahead and removed the 
IIsi adapter and cache card from the stack and everything went back to 
normal.   >>>SIIGHH<<<   I don't know that a new PSU alone would solve my 
problem here, since I did try booting the machine without the cache card, 
but with the IIsi adapter still in.  The IIsi adapter is really not much 
more than just that, an adapter with only a few components on the board so I 
don't think it is drawing a whole lot of power by itself.  If not having the 
cache card installed on it would cause an error is another question 
altogether.  My PSU is the Sony model BTW.

Sounds like your PSU may be pretty weak.
There were two brands, the ASTEC being the slightly weaker one.
I think they were circa 76watts, which doesn't leave you
much room for aging components or extra RAM and add-ins.
A guy in Japan makes suped-up 200w supplies.

One other thing is that when the cache
card is in, the startup chime sounds rather weak.
Has anyone ever upgraded the PSU in an se/30?
