Thanks for the feedback. I put some photos of the II and IIcx on http://home.comcast.net/~worleyph/index.html . This is the first time I've used my "free" web space, and I was in hurry, so it is quick and dirty. My apologies for not reducing the size of the photos before uploading. If you want close-ups of anything, please ask and I'll add it to the page.
bigD, if you are serious, the IIcx is yours (assuming that the price of my trouble and shipping are not over your limit). I'll get you an estimate sometime within the next week. Do you have a hard drive with System 6 already installed, or a working floppy that you can drop in? I prefer to send it as is, so that means no hard drive. If you already have a dead IIcx, I assume that you do not need cables, keyboard, mouse ...? I have these as well, but would like to keep this transaction as simple as possible.
Note the one thing that I would be interested in trading for is a Duo minidock. We have a Duo230c. The Duo Dock II died and I wasn't interested in fixing it. We rarely used it anyway. So ... bigD, if you have a minidock, I'll swap you for it. If not, the IIcx is still yours.
I guess that I'll see if I can resurrect the Mac II - wish me luck, unless someone wants it as is. (It will be more expensive to mail, I imagine.) The IIcx and the C610 were purchases from salvage sales at a local company. I am the original (and sole
) owner of the Mac II, so have more of an attachment to it. However, if I can get it going again, I'll still be looking for a new home for it at some point. If it is a lost cause, are Mac II parts worth advertising? I'm not looking to make any money - just curious if this is worth my time. Also, are cables, keyboards, mice, etc. worth advertising?
Thanks.
P.S. - I did not upload photos of the C610 yet. My limit is 24MB,
and the II and IIcx photos put me near the limit. When people are done looking, I'll remove these and upload the C610 photos.
