No problema! :b&w:

I yanked five of the six NuBus Cards out of the IIfx, unhooked the drives, removed the Drive Tray and then reseated all the RAM SIMMS & the Original ROM SIMM and got boot chimes on the first try! Your SIMM didn't kill the IIfx . . .

. . . maybe it really did just need a nap! ;) More likely I unseated something or other . . . ::)

I reinstalled/reconnected the drives/tray and booted just fine. :approve:

So, I promptly depopulated Bank A once again, and she booted up JUST FINE with only 32MB in Bank B!

Maybe I'll take a peek at the IIsi MoBo's Bank A, which is hidden under the Borked PSU's Box. Right now that box is missing its top and is supporting a Quadra 700's PSU at a jaunty angle while it holds the freed up Power Cable down to the MoBo connector . . .

. . . makes for an interesting looking conglomeration! :o)

Suggestions on disabling Bank A on the IIsi with the least amount of reversible damage?

I wonder if cutting and jumpering the Bank Select Line would be the best bet? :?:
