I had an Orange Mac286 setup in my Mac IIx and the thing was running
fine.  I recently upgraded to a Mac IIci.  So, I popped the Mac286
out of the IIx and into the IIci and ..... it didn't work.  I got a
dialog box saying : 

       Sorry, Mac286 v2.0 needs an MS-DOS card 
       and can not be run on your machine.
                               /----\  
                               | OK |
                               \----/

Anyone have any ideas why this thing is not working for me ?

Configuration :
     Mac IIci (no cache card)
     8 Mb Physical RAM / 160 Mb Hard Drive
     Mac286 cards (it is composed of two NuBus cards)
     system 6.0.7
