Haven't given up on this machine just yet.
The memory adapter holds the ram mod I bought at a local Apple store many years back. They installed. The machine never recognized the ram. Store is long gone...
I noticed the RAM module is marked "duo" - maybe wrong for that machine. I have another RAM module on the way from evil bay. Will see if it works - IF I can get the screen up!
The machine is worth fixing to me, as it uses IDE drives! The 180c uses SCSI.
Point of all this is actually to port my old software to images on the PB G4 and PC under linux/Windows under Basilisk. So I have to find some way to read original floppies (ALL densities, they are old). The G4 can read 1.4 Meg floppies only. And also to transfer things from the IIci to the other machines.
BTW - does someone know a way to connect the Mac IIci's internal SCSI drive to one of the Powerbooks via the external SCSI connector? Is there an adapter that will let me do that?
With the IIci, I am cogitating on the best way to replace the tin-can capacitors on the MB with the replacement SMC Tantalum caps I got from Trag. Not quite sure of the best way to orient and connect those little square beggars to the old form-factor holes on the MB. Anybody?
