Hey Ya'll. I've been busy doing stuff for a while.
Anyway, in the course of my recent travels I picked up this IIci and it came with a surprise...
A 33 Mhz Radius Rocket card! A card that I put in it 20+ years ago and completely forgot about.
So the story on this IIci is it belonged to a buddy of mine in Tacoma, WA who was using it in the late 90's.
During that time I had access to a lot of "old" Mac hardware and apparently I upgraded his IIci with this card back then.
(I remember installing the cache card and a bunch of ram but forgot the rest.)
While I was in Tacoma last week I was visiting my buddy and asked him about that old IIci he had.
He still had it in his closet, since ~2000, when he got an iMac.
So he let me have it and I brought it home and just opened it tonight to check for an exploded Maxell bomb.
And what the heck? A Radius Rocket! And an intact battery!! Wheee!
And a cache card and some ethernet card.
Unfortunately the on/off reset switch is missing, broken long ago no doubt.
Maybe tomorrow I'll try to fire it up!
