The other day I used my LaCie disk to boot a IIci and it basically
worked.  The Programmer's Key INIT seemed to have problems, but
QuicKeys 1.1 and Suitcase 1.2.5 loaded just fine.  Adobe Type Manager
even ran, and it was still too slow for my taste.  Can't say with
Onque--I don't have it.  Clearly something is wrong with your setup,
but I can tell you these two worked for me.

Know what?  Booting a IIci was no big thrill.  Sure is was nice to
know that my LaCie can do it, and sure it is faster, and *sure* I
would like one, but it is still a Macintosh, and things pretty much
acted like I was running a Macintosh.

Which is the *beauty* of it all.  I *was* running a Macintosh.  I can
use my hard disk on: my bottom-of-the-line Plus at home, my IIx at
work, my friend's top-of-the-line IIci, etc.  Some might have big
screens, some little, some color--some might even have several
screens.  Very different machines at some levels, but still all
Macintoshes.

Nice work, Apple.
