I need to get TechTool onto the IIsi, but I haven't bothered yet as I need to configure a low profile SCSI HDD for running 7.0.1/Tune-Up so I can determine if Apple cheaped out on the PSU to make the Rocket incompatible or if they borked the NuBus adapter, on purpose, just to prevent the IIsi from being converted to blazing 33MHz Quadra status even before they released the Quadras. That's where my IIx/Rocket33 sat at the top of the CPU food chain, and then remained there until the 840av was released.

I need to do the "machine pin" hack onto the soldertail cones of the PDS and replace the RA PDS Connector on one of my RCPII/IIsi Cards to test NuBus w/subterranean PDS Video. If that works, the PassThru Slot will be hack to Right Angle/Straight Up status for adding the Asante NIC.

Testing was done with addresses:

$00 = Macintosh A Built In Video

$09 = NuBus Adapter Default

$0A = RCPII/IIsi, the only other available Slot ID is $9

$0B = Asante MacCon30si, the only other available Slot ID is $9

I tested EVERY POSSIBLE jumper config on both PDS Cards . . . makes sense, but it'd be nice if both, or either of them, could use all three available PseudoSlot IDs. :-/
