The same cf card also works with a mystery brand scsi to IDE adapter I
bought on eBay, using the iici's onboard scsi. I just use the ultra
wide acard adapter and jackhammer because they're faster

Ahhhh... Yes... If you "bypass" the internal SCSI everything works
fine. The problem I have had is using the internal SCSI bus. I
really did not want to use a NuBus card for a SCSI card. I am
wondering if I should try to use a different Rushmore drive...
Perhaps there was just a funky issue with the one I was trying
(though it worked fine with everything else I through it in). One
reason I don't want to use a Jackhammer card was due to the reduced
performance I have noted with NuBus SCSI cards (compared to the
internal SCSI), the other is that with only 3 slots, it seems a
waste to use a slot simply to overcome the internal SCSI issue.

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
