DAYSTAR Universal PowerCache installation manual

I think that's all of them to date . . .

Anyways . . . from the Apple Macintosh IIx - DayStar, Radius - NOT Mine thread. . .

Is this the same adapter used for the socketed SE/30? I'm Radius Junkie and a Rocket Jockey, so I don't know about such things. I know the IIcx used a different one for a more compact installation.

I have almost exactly the same Macintosh II as that complete with DayStar 50MHz PowerCache, 20Mb of RAM and Radius Precision Colour 8-24 display board.

I also have the box and documentation that came with the DayStar 50Mhz PowerCache and it states that it's compatible with the LC, LCII, IIsi, IIci, II, IIx, IIcx, Classic, SE or SE/30 on the outside of the box. AFAIK, the IIci is the only machine that can take the PowerCache directly into its PDS slot, all the others will need to use the supplied adapter. I also know the II, IIx and IIcx will need its original processor and co-processor unit pulled and the adapter fitted in their place, with the PowerCache card then fitting into the adapter. I don't have direct knowledge of how it fits inside the other machines.

From my ScanDump™ series:DAYSTAR Universal PowerCache installation manual

That gives you the information on four more machines, assuming the LC575(?) uses the Color Classic adapter. Dunno . . .

BUT
Physical design of the adapter card may lead to space and clearance issues in an SE/30.

Yup! That was the, badly phrased, jist of my question. THX! :approve:

Spicey, if you've got the Docs for your adapter, could you check to see if it covers more than one model?

ScanDump™ Project contributions are always welcome . . . encouraged . . . wanna be the first to volunteer? [] ]'>

For the rest of the gang: My ScanDump™ Project images are available and need to be uploaded to the 68kMLA's piccie-thingama-doohicky. Just in case I, and my iFroggie account, go AWOL for an extended R&R session in a padded roo . . . erm . . . nice, all inclusive, resort facility again, like the iDisk incident back in the day, they should be backed up and linked here. B's working out a HowTo on the process and I'd rather spend my time scanning through the file folder box+ worth of research materials . . .

. . . never mind, this is Tangential to . . . erm . . . my OP . . . go figure! : So I'll post a ScanDump™ Project Topic in Peripherals . . .

Info like this surfaces all the time here at the 68kMLA, so I'd like more volunteers to scan-n-dump additional materials (from defunct copyrights/holders, of course [

] ]'> )

Some help getting my stuff stuffed onto the 68kMLA's infrastructure for safekeeping would be GREATLY appreciated. A list of tagged links to the MLA piccies is easy enough for me to edit into the Dumps and would free up some time for me to scan in some more of the ancient MacCrap from the magic boxen.

Congratulations to anyone who actually wades through this drivel to get to this point. Clarity of.TXTual output isn't one of my stronger points. :I
