- Yes, I've had the same problem. Daystar claims the PowerCache is 100%
- compatible with A/UX--they told me so on the phone--but the fact remains
- that the control panel crashes me into MacsBug. This is a step backward
- for them; they used to provide a separate program (something like "powercard")
- so that "powercard on" would turn on the cache and "powercard off" would turn
- it off.
