My iici boots off an 8gig Lexar CF card. I used a nubus jackhammer
card with an acard scsi -> IDE adapter and cf adapter. The acard
adapter doesn't seem to like UDMA cf cards though

Hello all.
For quite some time now I have been trying to get my IIci running
off an SSD, but to no avail. The first attempt involved a 128 MB
Quantum Rushmore drive and while the drive was recognized and did
work, it only worked for a short time (minutes not hours or days).
It seems that there is some issue with the IIci SCSI circuitry (the
same drive works fine in my Quadras) where the drive gets corrupted
after a few minutes use. After this, I gave up for a while... I
just picked up an IO DATA SCSI-IDE converter and gave this a whirl
using a Transcend IDE flash drive. I can partition the drive...
Initialize the drive... But when I try to copy data to the drive it
locks up after a few files are written (I even tried the converter
set to emulate a SCSI-1 device). I think I was able to get the
Rushmore drive to work when I used a NuBus SCSI controller
(specifically a Jackhammer).
This is quite frustrating! Has anybody been successful at doing
this? I recall that people have been successful with getting a
Compact Flash drive to work with Older Macs (perhaps SE and SE/30
machines) and it seems that this should work. I am currently
looking at getting a IIfx running off a SSD, but I was really hoping
to use the IIci instead.
Any thoughts?
Derek
