David,

You are about to discover how temperamental the Rocket really can
be...

I dare say you know that Radius still have the latest
RocketWare software and a brief FAQ available on their ftp site.
There's another utility there called "lift-off" that checks the
configuration of the host Mac for timing senstitive cards that may
conflict with the Rocket.

Have you tried knocking up a minimal system floppy (eg disk tools for
System 7.0 with the RocketWare extension added) and thried booting
from that?

Phil
