A few months back, I picked this card up from eBay sold as "untested." I've never had a Rocket and was excited, so I paid too much and pulled the trigger. Finally got around to testing it last night in my IIci. First I installed RocketWare 1.5 under System 7.5.3. After some reading, it appears the rocket only supported System 6-7.1, so I downgraded the IIci to System 7.0.1. Thinking that this v1 Rocket was also not compatible with the RocketWare 1.5 software, I installed RocketWare 1.3.

What happens regardless of the version of OS or Radius driver, is the rocket extension loads (with splashscreen and fun sound effect), it sits idle for ~1min, then a dialog box appears saying the Rocket isn't responding. I know the system is detecting it, because the card shows up in TattleTech. This tells me at least the ROM is likely valid.

Rocket experts - what am I doing wrong? Is my combination of driver/OS never going to work? Should I be looking at something else entirely? I can't find any documentation to tell me what Error 4614 refers to (if anything). I also have not touched the RAM installed on the card. I don't even know if it's required for successful initialization.
