possibly, i've been curious about the coprocessor hack myself. i was meaning to check and see if i've got a photo with the same board but with an fpu used in another mac model. you might have to use wish i were to install the os afterwards. i hadn't noticed the floppy connection, likely it works fine, but might be wired in parallel to the other one in which case you'd be trying to run both floppies off of one port. check it with an ohm meter and see if all the pins are common between the two.

Then, on a similar "case -------- run hd toolkit or something similar. more likely than bad chips on the cache card is a bad connection, try pulling it out and reseating it, possibly a few times, possibly with the aid of contact cleaner. generally, things like ram double do a great deal to slow things down and destabilize them, i'd only use it as a last resort. 16m ram is going pretty cheaply lately on the swap list and elsewhere, 2 simms for $15. > > I have a IIci which has recently been freezing up on > me.
