So I found a IIcx for sale on the 'Bay and it was recently listed. At first I thought it looked pretty junk, and since I had a IIci, I wasn't that interested. However, as I looked through the photos I could see potential. So the only bad parts are it had no HD and it was listed as "faulty" but had a load of extras with it.
From what I could see I could tell it was fairly upgraded, all the RAM slots were used, there was a bunch of cables, a Keyboard II, a BnC network card (yawn), but what did peak my interest was a suspicious looking card that was in a NuBus slot.
The photos were fairly crap but it looked very Radiusish (for lack of a better word)!
That alone was worth a punt I thought.
I think it was about a tenner as a start price, but I figured I'd try low-balling an offer. So I sent one that worked out at £25 posted, and it was accepted.
So fast forward a few days and it's literally arrived today and well, see for yourselves (below)!
I believe it's a Radius Thunder IV. Not sure how this stacks up to the rest of the range but I got a couple of them already (LeMans GT & PrecisionColor Pro 24).
Sadly it doesn't have the daughter card, and I can only assume it's a lower-end one as there's no VRAM chips on the back side.
Still, beggars can't be choosers!
Will have to give the IIcx a test and see if she powers on at least!
