No, no FPU installed on the daystar. Has anyone ever modified a modern PSU to put into the se/30?

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.

This is kind of obvious, but you don't have the FPU chip installed in teh PDS adapter, do you? The SE/30 already has an FPU, so having the FPU in the adapter would cause wacky bus problems similar to what you are experiencing.
