As many of you are aware, my little IIci just doesn't have the juice to run much more than 8MBs of RAM and a 25MHz 040 Radius Rocket.
So I was wondering if it would be possible (well, not just possible, but relatively easy?) to provide an external source for +5V power to the NuBus slots on a IIci. There's plenty of room inside, and I've been experimenting with different ways of mounting an LC power supply next to the existing IIci Power Supply.
I'm pretty tight on cash right now because of reduced hours at work which is why I haven't attempted to buy a Quadra 700 power supply yet, so I'm working with what I have. My technical abilities are limited to a dremel and soldering iron.
Any comments on the technical feasibility of this idea?
