Images. I may have been a bit generous with the space but it is for the best. Also gives you the option of using a slightly larger notebook in there later if needed. http://i43.t…

Go for 18" deep, 18" wide and 13" high. On the other hand, it only has to be 16" deep if you do not have a yo-yo adapter sitting behind it. Actually, you could have a little hange…

Good work. Must feel nice to use it.

I would not "practice" on a IIx board, they are kind of rare. The IIx was not out very long before the IIfx came out and many of the II and IIx systems were upgraded to IIfx boards…

. . . hands down the IIx is a FAR better machine! Back in the day I was shopping for a used Mac II in order to save money. One of the used dealers said I was nuts and that the IIx …

Meh - but it's got the "trickle bug"? It clicks and the keyboard LEDs blink. I can only turn it on by plugging it in and hitting the reset button. I'll look up the procedure for fi…

Excellent news.

Good to see another LC back up and going. The case looks to be in very good condition.

Great score, nice price too

Nice work. Looks good on your desk. I hated those mice, so uncomfortable. Give me a tear drop mouse any day of the week.

Never used one. Although I wouldn't mind a Genesis or MaxBoxx if it came my way. I am in the process of slimming down my collection, so adding new machines would be counter produ…

It's alive! I unplugged and replugged it one more time, hit both reset buttons in front, now it's at the "?" prompt - of course, there are no drives installed. Let's reinstall the …

The left side of the power supply is a little warm, and there is a very slight "electric" smell. Click to expand... Unless it's burning. I would take everything apart, then…

Well, I guess it's been plugged in an hour, maybe a little more. The only thing installed is the power supply and ram. Still nothing. The left side of the power supply is a little…

That Y-cable is either for the LC IIe card (probably so, since it's on the drive) or it's a Power Mac 6100 DOS cable. Click to expand... Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the h…

I will try disconnecting everything. How long should I leave it plugged in before I try to start it? Click to expand... Say an hour? The idea is to make sure the circuitry that…

I will try disconnecting everything. How long should I leave it plugged in before I try to start it?

You can do that I guess, I would just solder in replacement batteries (the leads are fairly long so you will not heat up the battery much unless you are using a blowtorch. I think…

Is there a clicking noise? Any signs of capacitors leaking? Swap power supplies between units.

Have you left them for a while connected to the mains to power on? Have you tried the keyboard poweron button? Have you disconnected floppies and hard disks?

New battery was installed, still *nothing*

Start with the CMOS batteries. My IIx won't start if the batteries are dead.

Can I just snip the leads off near the battery, and leave them attached to the board so I can reuse them to solder to the battery holders? Click to expand... Sounds like a very…

Skylab FTW

It should handle audio work just fine I would think. Since you've already got 1Gb of RAM in it and a decent sized hard drive, I would definitely use it instead of an old Dell. As…
