I posted this at the end of another thread ... which maybe wasn't quite the right place, so apologies but I'd be interested to know any info on this.

A recapped board for my IIci rebuild project should be back in a few days from Uniserver. The final working computer will be the end result of taking parts from two IIci's and making one good machine.

The donor Iici had a Daystar cache card inside it ... marked P33 which I think might be a 50Mhz version?

Most of the info and images I have found show two processors/chips onboard, but as the red circle shows ... this one is missing, I found pictures that showed 'P33' etched onto the board ... this one has a paper label (Nothing too dramatic I'm sure).

I can't test it until the recapped board comes back, but I'm just wondering the difference between a Daystar cache card 'with' or 'without' that extra component.

Also seen screenshots of a Daystar control panel accessory to configure it ... Anyone know (assuming it works) if this is 'plug and play' or will I need the CP file to make the system see it?

Thanks,
