Well, there I was a couple of hours ago ready to roll with Deck II on the old 840av. Fired up the 840av and ... my Jackhammer Nubus card and therefore the 2 x 9 GB IBMs connected to it seem no longer to be alive. The Nubus card is not so much as registered by the standard tools (Techtool, etc.); the drives (RAID) do not spin up. Its not a configuration problem, because some months ago it worked perfectly, ran stably, and looked a winner.

Woe is me and that's the end of that particular plan. So it'll have to be an overclocked G3 for now, methinks. Probably faster anyway.
