- More RAM slots, the 7100 has 8, meaning its cheaper and easier to upgrade than the 6100, with its 2. Click to expand... The 7100 has four memory slots and paradoxically, actu…

No fair!!!

There are lots of possible problems here. System RAM needs to be fast (off the top of my head 80ns -- correctly guessed) and 2MB SIMMs don't work. You have to have functioning RAM…

Nice! Have fun with that machine!

So I visited a Salvation Army thrift store in PA that I tend to frequent. Usually in their electronics section in the basement only have monitors and printers. So this time when I …

Well, I just read that 100 NS RAM (aka LC/LC II series RAM) won't work on the Macintosh IIci. Will the IIci give video without RAM?

System 7.0 and 7.0.1 are rather buggy releases, so 7.1 might be a good start.

Update: The printer does not want to power on at all. I would take a look in the PSU, as it might be the fuse or some leaky capacitors, but its really not worth my time. (It's a pr…

Sounds like it might be worth running the appropriate version of Norton Disk Doctor over your drive Click to expand... Also a very good idea.

I'll check that location. Thanks! BTW, no VRAM stick is necessary, right? And also I'm using 100 ns RAM. Will that work?

When they stripped the IIci maybe they took the ROM jumper at W1. Without it you won't get any video. Wayne

So a while back, I received a bare Macintosh IIci motherboard. No RAM, and an old battery. I replaced the old battery with a new one and put in x4 2 MB SIMMS. When I turn the pow…

I have a 9.0.4 image with updates to 9.2.2 I also have a 9.2.1 DMG, which does not boot but does install through OS X through classic. What you could do is run an 9.2.2 Installer…

8-o 1.60$?! I am hoping to do a freecycle Haul this weekend of Pre-G3 stuff and an iMac G3, by the guys description... Awesome Conquest! I love the dimpled floppy drive of the L…

Very nice! :O

Very nice. Here's hope that it doesn't succumb to the dreaded PAF.

Today's haul: Macintosh LC 475, AppleCD 300e Plus, Apple Personal LaserWriter printer, a SCSI scanner, a Performa Plus CRT, and a bunch of cables. The LC and CD drive both work fin…

System 7.1 is a good idea. My Macintosh LC runs perfectly with it (not slow at all, especially if you have 10 MB of RAM) BTW, just make a clean system reinstall the informal way. …

Rebuild desktop? Sounds like the finder database is out of whack. Click to expand... Tried that. Fixed a few icons but that's about it. Also tried 24 vs 32 bit addressing. I …

Rebuild desktop? Sounds like the finder database is out of whack.

My Performa 400 has been mothballed for about a year, but I finally cleared some space today to set it back up. The board was recapped before I put it away. It looks like one of t…

Another poster has suggested a 9500 logic board as a replacement. Having recently tried this, blindly following a thread in these fora, I can report that transplanting a 9500 logic…
