YES! I got it to work finally with my Turbo 601. I found a website with "Turbo 601 eccentricities" with a cool copy of a FAX conversation between an owner of a Turbo 601 & FWB Card.

"Turbo 601 eccentricities" is one of the pages on Brinnoven's "The Unofficial Turbo 601 Site".

That was the place to be, back in the day. There's a ton of great information and experience preserved there for the Turbo601 and there was a sister-site for the PowerPro(?) -- the PPC upgrade for 68040 machines.

I now have a Mac IIci with a Turbo 601 upgrade and Jackhammer SCSI card. Phew, that thing is finicky. I should print out the configuration and stick it with my manuals so I don't have to go through this again. :approve:

The JackHammer is actually very simple, if one follows the rules for terminating SCSI properly. The rules for terminating SCSI properly are not so simple...

Adding a Turbo601 into the mix just makes configuration a nightmare. It's like a dancing bear. The wonder is not that it dances so well, but that it dances at all.

I had a Turbo601/66 way back when. I hacked it to run at ~94 MHz.

Once I had everything working well, and had used it for a while, I sold it to some poor soul and took the money and ran as fast as I could to a refurb'ed PowerComputing Power120 (8100 clone).

There was just too much configuration hassle with the Turbo601. If one wanted a fast NuBus, it was better to get an x100 machine.

Still, the Turbo601 is a very cool piece of Mac history.
