All of you who've put IIci PDS/Cache cards into a IIsi
PDS are just plain LUCKY. ;)
Somewhere I have an 030 PowerCache manual with the
info on the various Mac adapters DayStar made and the
installation instructions. For the IIsi they made a
IIsi/IIci two slot combo adaptor, a NuBus/IIci one,
a one slot IIci adaptor and a "shortie" straight
through IIci adaptor for use with IIsi cards
that absolutely had to be plugged directly into
the IIsi connector and had a PDS passthrough. At the
time the manual was written there was only one card
that needed the shortie, some Radius video card.
The manual says absolutely never ever ever ever
plug an 030 PowerCache directly into the IIsi.
So I'll say it again. If you've plugged ANY IIci
card directly into a IIsi and came away with no
damage to card or IIsi you are LUCKY. :)
(Same goes for people who willy-nilly insert and
remove cards in a Quadra 900/950 with the power
cord plugged in!)
