Ok so I figured I'd take my conquest thread here.

Background:

I purchased this IIfx not knowing of its condition. No idea on how much RAM and no HD.

I plugged it in last night and got nothing, no chime, nada.

Remembering that these were picky about PRAM batteries I put two new fresh ones in. That made it power on... then I heard the death chimes.

I removed a bank of RAM and now it chimes properly - but i get no video to my Apple 13" "high resolution" monitor.

It has a Macintosh II video card in it.

I ordered another nubus video card off ebay so we'll see if that fixes it.

I also ordered an ATTO SCSI card and an ethernet card.

...To be continued...
