Wish I had known about this list before -- I came across it in a follow-up google AFTER I found that, like Norbert van Bemmel last December, I had a Mac IIci cache card go south and take my trusty print server with it. Is there any Apple documentation on this issue? (I know, it's an old box and they don't care...)
I stumbled across the solution by accident: the fourth time I pulled the power supply and drive cage to re-check that the PRAM battery was OK, I forgot to re-insert the cache card when I put everything back together, and lo! it just worked. Another hour of swapping the card in-and-out, etc. confirmed that the only bad component was the cache card, and that was sufficient to prevent booting. Weird. But now my mixed-Mac (OS 8, 9, and X) home network can share our trusty HP 855C printer, thanks to one of the better boxes Apple ever built! Just wanted to (belatedly) thank the group and this list, which looks like it will be very helpful in the future.
