So far all is well with the operational IIci system and things are perking up.
I picked up a set of 4 x 4MB 30-pin SIMMs, so it's now got 20MB. Since the vendor was good, another 16MB is on the way. Looking to get a RAM Disk set up once I get it but I have to figure that out as the option doesn't appear under the memory control panel in 7.1--strange.
I received a couple of working FDHDs and installed one, so that part is fixed. I got the LaserWriter working with a new RhinoTek toner cartridge--prints are clean and streak-free. I received what I believe is a DayStar PowerCache and once I get the 8.6 upgrade installed on my PB 1400c and get the drivers downloaded I hope it all works.
I received a NIB-condition old stock Wacom ArtZ tablet with drivers, which is good. This second one had the nice pass-thru ADB adapter so it will play nice with my single ADB port machines, too. I'll be looking for art software to use with it.
Many more things on the way--better video card, Kensington Trackball, max memory for the LaserWriter, and I have my eye on a drive and another Sony SDM-HS73 LCD for the as-yet non-operational system. I think I'll skip the CF card drive as a cost-effective SCSI to CF Card adapter solution doesn't seem to exist, and the SCSI to IDE, then IDE to CF Card solution looks cost-prohibitive.
Best,
John
