Re: SecondSight boot stability

                        Later that day...

Well, forget what I said about the control-reset thing.  It WAS pure 
coincidence.  Right after I posted that, I had nothing but reset 
failures, no matter which key-combo I used.  hehe go figure. 

Anyway, I pulled the ZIP out.  In fact, I pulled every card out, except 
the Second Sight.  Same problem on startup.  garbage - reset - garbage - 
reset (3 or 4 more times) then *boink!*  "Apple IIgs" and a successful 
boot.  I put every card back in, and took the second sight out.  EVERY 
boot was flawless.  

So now, after all this, I can safely say it's the Second Sight that is 
causing the boot failures.  Now... does ANYBODY remember the discussion 
awhile back about removing the wire or diode on the back of the card to 
improve stabilization?  Or anything else for that matter?  Jawaid, are 
you still out there?
