Brad,
Normally, when using the Daystar in the Mac II in MacOS, is there a special
INIT or anything that has to be loaded for certain devices (serial, ADB?)
to work properly? 

The reason I'm asking is that I would assume that the problem is simply 
the current kernels (which use the ROM ADB routines) don't take into 
account the increased speed of the processor and therefore timeout before
the ADB data returns during startup.

Is the working kernel you have (the Oct 23rd kernel) MRG based? That is, do
you see a message during boot regarding the Mac ROM Glue?

Thanks for the info.
