Pulled the motherboard out of the 660av, the IIcx, and the G4 DA to have them recapped. Had the analog board for the 512Ke worked on, so that computer could go back together and be put into use eventually - need to pull the analog board again, so I can reinstall the brightness knob.
On the G4 MDD, got the drives from the DA installed, along with the Radeon 9700 and the USB card. Tried to get the 9800 card I had for the machine working, but suspect that it hasn't been reflashed with the Mac firmware. All it does, after having the resistors removed, is to turn the monitor on for a second, then drop it back into power save mode, with the computer sitting there, doing nothing else. Going to source one that has been flashed and modified already. Also am going to be swapping out the dual processor module for a single 1.25GHz module. May also get a 360 watt power supply with the upgraded fans, so it'll be more along the lines of the DA, noise level-wise. It's not bad with CHUD installed and nap mode enabled, but could be better.
Going to soon be upgrading the Mac II to a IIx. Picked up a IIx board that had nasty-looking caps and a IIfx ROM SIMM.
