    ROM on IIci

    It's a multisync 14" which was sold with Performa 6200 (with bi speakers on each side). This monitor works perfectly with other macs.

    ROM on IIci

    Hello, I just got a IIci which is not working (death shime). At the moment the motherboard is drying after a good wash. Here is my problem: There is an empty white slot on the center of the motherboard, labelled "ROM SIMM". Is that rom missing ? Can the IIci work with this slot empty ?

    My 40/80/160 Mb SCSI Hard disk are all dying.

    I don't think so. Setting up an assembly line must be very expensive, and there is probably no market for such small capacities HD except for us, poor fool guys [:o)] ]'> Moreover, spinning hard disks will probably disappear quickly. Anyway the idea of Flash HD in a Mac LC makes me...

    My 40/80/160 Mb SCSI Hard disk are all dying.

    Well, it sounds like a good idea, but will the machines boot on such a non Apple device ? In fact a few adapters would be enough as I don't need to start a bunch of Mac at once.

    You're right. All dying hard drives are Quantum ProDrive ELS. Conner and IBM are still working. Conclusion: Don't buy Quantum drives, they are not reliables :-))

    LC just died

    I can assure you that I started my 6 LC 475 yesterday to (check their hard drives), without batteries using the PRAM keystroke. When I need battery I just sold two standard "AAA" batteries together, then to the motherboard. It's not pretty to look at but it works. I do that only for the...
