Midnight here in Amsterdam, I will shoot some pictures over the weekend of the cards and share them!

Hi Unkown_K, Sorry for missing you out on data. The FWB JackHammer is a tale on itself as it misses all three SIP-terminators. After some research I believe they need an impedance of 110 Ω. Finding the is a quest on itself. The other SCSI-card that came with the IIfx is an equally useless...

For now my best bet seems to be finding an second USB ZIP-drive in order to transfer software to the IIfx or better: a friendlier machine like a NuBus Quadra or PPC... Enabling me to use external devices... This also means that the whole reason to acquire the IIfx is senseless, hoping to sign...

Thanks guys! No luck yet in solving my SCSI-issues. Although I can access my Zip-drive, I still have trouble with all other devices. Looking and finding a SCSI-filter seems to be impossible. So right now, it is like an isolated island...

Hi all, Does anyone happen to have driver software for a SMC NuBus 10/100 Ethernet card? The driver software is called 'EtherPower 10/100' I believe. The controller is a 'FEAST' chip. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Jeroen

Hi ArmourAlley, Food for thought: you never used a SCSI filter on your internal 500 Mb HD... Well, my IIfx came with a massive 40 Mb Apple HD (5 1/4"), and didn't had a SCSI filter either! Either way it crashed after a couple hours of use, made a scraping metal on metal noise, terrible! I had...

Hi ArmorAlley, Thanks for posting the article. I've actually read the article. That way I knew your terminator is probably the 'black terminator', although the 'A' version is not mentioned specifically. At this stage I've tried what I could possibly try. Searching for a SCSI filter that seems...

Borrowed from Sean, fellow 68k member: His Apple 'black' terminator, model 590-705-A !!! Awesome, and I think it solved problems to a certain extent. Although the terminator is black and from Apple, I was a little surprised: it's some sort of pass-through terminator... Earlier in this thread, 4...

What a nice post! It is amazing when you look at those prices how expensive our vintage gear once was. And explains why its hard to find hardware today as it was for the rich happy few back then... Converting this invoice into today's money? Probably it will scare the hell out of you! Actually...

Hi Armor Alley, Thanks for this extensive e-mail. It could't be more clear! Tomorrow I'll transfer € 3,70 to you (little more than 3,70 CHF). Also of great help: the link to the JackHammer manual and software. Although I have some software myself, I won't bother using it as you have a IIfx as...

Hi Armour Alley, Wow, that would be awesome!!! Sorry to hear that the internal SCSI died on your IIfx... Hope you can still use your machine by using a NuBus SCSI-card... Do you have one? I suppose that sending it in an envelop (weight is very low) by air will work? Let me know what shipping...

Hi Nglevin & Trash 80, That's a swift reaction! Apology for my lack of technical knowledge: Trash 80: Building your own shouldn't be difficult, especially if any one of your older SCSI devices has provision for SIP resistor packs. That should be as simple as soldering some olde schoole...

Hi fellow Apple users! I recently acquired a Macintosh IIfx for a project to acces and retrieve 1988-1994 data from ad agencies. Anyway, the IIfx came without it's mandatory SCSI filter (internal) and 'black' terminator. I need to hook up 2 magnetic optical drives, a DDS tape unit, hard disk...

Hi, Last week I (Dutchman, Amsterdam) bought a Macintosh IIfx from an German auction site. It came with a 'modern' ethernet card: 10/100 Mbit and RJ-45 connector, along with some other cards. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue where to get drivers. Asanté drivers won't work, has anyone got a...
