My IIgs have a ROM 03, I suppose that is what you're talking about? From what I saw, the SCSI card has to be plugged into the leftmost slot. I suppose there is no differences between the 2 cards you mention in term of performance, considering the age the the IIgs.
So finally the HS one is not really the choice considering this boot error. Why there is that error? Strange that Apple make a card that generate error on boot...
Mine have a full memory card install, but I think it has only 1 meg on it. When I go to the control panel, in the RAM disk config, it tell me that the memory looks like 2048K. I suppose one can find chips to install in place of the one already installed and upgrade the memory card.
Another question, I plugged the IIgs with the composite output to my TV. But all display looks white on gray, even if the color mode is selected. And when I change the color it only goes from one gray to another. Any idea?
