Accelerators are always fun.

Can’t say I’ve ever tested it. It’ll be limited by its weakest link.. I think the scsi controller on all those systems would be faster than the speed of the 600e, but other things could have slowed it down. I suspect the reason it’s minimum spec is the IIci is other related functionality...

It’ll work fine, I have a cd 600e I use on a verity of old macs, including an SE, II, IIcx, even been used with a plus.

That’s cool, well done!

You’re going to have to up your cunning deceitfulness..

You trust @cheesestraws? Dang...

I have two with dead controller chips.. was the replacement just a part from another dead keyboard or can you buy them NOS?

I can’t comment on whether the 17µF difference would cause this issue or not (I suspect not but I don’t have enough knowledge to say for sure), but did you test the new caps before installing them? I’ve found that some caps tested ratings vary wildly from what they’re actually supposed to be...

I love my AIO G3. I’m a proud owner of one of the very few that are outside of the USA. I actually have 2, although one has serious problems with it. I’m hoping to get it working one day though.

See now that’s the question.. I’ve already got a IIcx in my setup in my study, along with a Quadra 950 for 040 fun! So.. do I replace the cx with the ci? Do I use it in one of my SE/30 (assuming it’s the revision that could be used for that.. ).. do I just put it on display? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i...

I shoulda thought of that! No not yet, although I have realised it does work with the built in drivers in system 7 (maybe 7.1?). I need to get back to looking at it. I actually really confused myself with this card.. I was testing something with it and the MAC address kept changing.. then I...

I shouldn’t be buying anything.. but I noticed something on eBay the other day and took a punt on it. A Macintosh IIci that doesn’t power up. Not exactly common.. however it had 2 things of interest in it.. today it turned up: And then I got really excited It also had a SuperMac...

And by 45 years no less!

"Do you come from a land down under Where women glow and men plunder?” It is chunder in a following verse though. And yes, chundering SE/30s does not sound pleasant.. yet..

I will do this shortly! It’s already starting to look a little messy again 🤣 I travel the UK with a friend for stuff. We enjoy road trips! Although I’ve had to curtail them due to my changing of careers.. but eventually ill get back to it! And now you can start giving me things instead...
