So, a lot of us here are old enough to remember when the market was flooded with Apple II clones. Most of these machines entered the country as CP/M compatibles, to get through customs, and had cloned Apple ROMS fitted once they were in the country. A lot of them had fruit themed names. So in...
I have a IIfx that had a severely rotted motherboard. I bought a recapped board, put it in, and it still didn't boot. I changed the batteries and reset the PRAM, and still nothing. I figured the power supply caps were bad, and went through 3 more PSU's, and still nothing. It sits in my storage...
Here's something that might help, a little. It says that the last G5 towers, from 2005, used BT 2.0+EDR, not BT 2.2. It may not be possible to use a BT 2.2 supporting card from a Mac Pro in a G5...

So I have a bunch of Apple monitors, and I know that one of them goes with the IIGS, but I can't remember which one, and I don't want to risk breaking something by plugging incompatible monitors into my IIGS. Can someone post a pic of the identification sticker on the back of a IIGS monitor?
I'm pretty sure these will not work with a modern router, at least the one that I have installed in my iMac G3 700, can't connect to my router. It can't even see the network, because my router doesn't support the early 802.11 standard that the Airport card uses. I have had to use an ethernet...
The problem is the price that those early mice sell for. I've seen them between $100 and $200 already. The prices on all the early Mac stuff soared, when Steve Jobs died. I'm glad I got a lot of my stuff before then.
Only until they drive the higher priced station out of business, and then the prices go up, but what actually happens is that there is a lot of collusion that goes on, even though they don't call it that. What they do is, they send someone out to do a survey of what other stations in the area...
