Normal experience with a IIsi or IIfx ROM.
Is this your own personal experience or the experience of someone else, about which you have read in books or online? I ask this because I myself own both a IIsi and a IIfx ROM. I have used both extensively in more than one SE/30 motherboard. And I can tell you right now that the IIsi ROM does not in any way produce any kind of artifacts at startup. No horizontal lines, no checkerboard patterns. Now, the IIfx does produce horizontal lines for a few seconds at cold boot, but I have never, ever seen a checkerboard pattern result from the IIfx ROM!

For additional information, you can read my two AppleFritter Posts here.
JDW, when I talked with you in PM you told me the IIsi rom still produced the strange garbled artifact that I (and everybody else) get with the IIfx rom. Did I misunderstand what you said?

So now, are you saying that with the IIsi rom, the SE/30 boots 100% normally, as if it had the stock ROM and a 100% working logic board? Have you tested this on more than one logic board?
