I'll let you all know how the CPU card upgrade goes.

Let the list know how you get on with the upgrade card!
I have been watching this thread with interest as I have an IIci with a 13" RGB and LaserWriter printer, all in pristine condition. I was planning on installing AU/X on the system as soon as I had picked up an in-era CD-ROM drive. The CPU upgrades are going to be pretty cheap nowadays so its going to be worth getting one of them too.
Is there an in-era CD-ROM drive? I was thinking the Apple CD-ROM 150 with the caddy would probably be the closest thing available...

Okay. I got it to work, amazingly enough. Turns out that it was partially the CD and partially the hard drive. The A/UX installer does not like it when I use Lido to partition the hard drive. It seems to only want its own formatting utility. I was reluctant to use this, after reading many things online about how you should use basically anything except for the A/UX partitioning utility, but it seems to have worked fine for me. Also, the A/UX installer program seems to work great on my faster CD drive when I burn the disc at a speed of about 4x. I still get a few read errors, but they seem to recover, whereas before the system would just hang or get a kernel panic. If I burned the disc at an even lower speed, it probably would stop the read errors entirely, and I will try that when I install
A/UX on the other IIci.
Now for my next question: I posted before about using a sonnet presto 040 with A/UX. It is a full 68040, not the 68LC040. How would I go about testing if it is compatible with
A/UX? Do I just install its system extensions like I would in Mac OS? or would it shut off once A/UX boots?
Thanks for all the help! Kyle DePasquale

Some CDROM drives have a jumper (on the internal mechanism) for setting the sector size. It is possible that A/UX requires a different sector size than the Mac requires. I seem to remember that it was usually flavors of nix that used the other sector size setting.
I highly doubt it as it would stop every standard Apple SCSI CD-ROM drive (and everyone elses) in the world working with A/UX. I have 300i and 600i units here and neither has a sector sized jumper. It's something I have only ever run into on MO drives.
Anyway, you might check for a sector size jumper and change it to the other condition (installed/removed) and try again. It's a bit of a long shot, but this is a problem that would show up on multiple drives, because it's a configuration issue.
Keep in mind that I'm guessing.
The original Image that you are burning from may be damaged. I can vouch for the fact that A/UX 3.01 will successfully install on a IIci with a standard Apple CD-ROM drive, having done it myself.
Attack this logically: It's not the hard disk, you've changed that. It's not the CD Drive, you've changed that It's not the IIci, you've changed that. It's not the burn - you've redone that several times.
Check you are not doing something strange like burning the CD as a Multisession disk, A/UX very likely doesn't support Multisession CDs.
