Hi All,

Picked up a Mac IIfx off of Craigslist.  The owner couldn't get it started and it had a cap corrode in it at C42.  It was a botched up job and one of the pads is completely gone but I think I got it to work.  While the batteries test out okay, they don't work.  I had to jumpstart it via 5v on pin 15 of the power supply and all was well.  The positive pad is gone on C42.  Anyone know what it does off-hand?

It's got some unmarked SuperMac video card in it that I'll post a pic later on and all 8 slots full of memory (both 8 pin but one set of four has an extra empty memory chip socket that I'm assuming is for parity) but I can't boot it up to see how much memory because it has no hard drive.

I thought I'd use a Mac II hard drive but the cable is different.  The IIfx has some sort of contraption on the SCSI port that I'm guessing is a terminator.  Is it possible these came without a hard drive?

Anyway, I'll need to find a hard drive power cable, internal SCSI cable and a sled to get this running.  If anyone has a set to sell, please PM me.  Is it possible to boot it from a floppy?  If so, what version of MacOS will fit on a floppy and boot one of these?

Any help is much appreciated as always.
