Re: SecondSight boot stability

A couple of things I did today...

Just for the heck of it, I tried turning the slot speed of my SS (slot 1) 
to normal, via the DIP switches on the ZIP.  Still had the same boot up 
problems.  I noticed something else though, and I'm not sure if this has 
anything to do with the slot speed setting...

I reported before (As well as other people) that it usually took anywhere 
from 3-8 resets on the SS "garbage lines" screen before a successful boot.
This was using a control-Open Apple-Reset.  After tediously 
experimenting, I found that just a control-reset workes on the FIRST 
time.  I tested this a million times, and it worked EVERY time.  Maybe it 
was just a freak series of coincedences, but it DID work.

My next "fiddle" will be to completely remove my ZIP, and run everything 
through a series of boots.  Then I will replace it, and start the speed 
out slow (via changing the crystal) and slowly build up.  Maybe something 
good will come of all this.
