Hmm... More RAM is not necessarily better? The OS and an app like AOL (I have a lot of old e-mails saved) take up almost all of the system’s memory. I can’t imagine that pushing the RAM much higher wouldn’t be anything but a boost to the system. I want to run Infini-D, Photoshop and Illustrator...

Hey folks... My recently-restored IIcx has a few problems. Nothing major, but annoying. 1. It periodically freezes, then plops up a network error message. I click "ok" and it's fine again, for a little while. 2. Maybe two times in an hour, it will crash. The guy who fixed it said something...

Yeah... not sure my IIcx’s CPU’s upgradable. I think I do have a ROM slot though. I would like to upgrade as much as possible -- once I land a job, however. So... My main options are ethernet and video upgrades (that man who repaired my machine gave me an ethernet board he wasn’t using, so now...

Okay, thank you. That was a thorough answer! Gotta copy that down... 'Preciate it.

A very helpful gentleman here in AZ fixed up my ancient IIcx for me, so it is now capable of booting up and being used. Has a blueSCSI in there, 20MB of RAM, fresh caps, and is overall cleaned up. What I'd like to know is, what upgrade options were for this machine? What sorts of Nubus boards...

Revisiting this thread. I find this fascinating. Been watching a lot of YouTube videos about techies reviving ancient machines, even the SE models. Holy smoke. As I re-read the posts here, I understand much better what everyone's talking about, as I've watched these guys actually soak mobos...

Crap man, wish I could help. That is way beyond my expertise. Have you found a solution?  I have a IIcx also, and would like to try to resurrect him as well. Unfortunately, I'm reluctant to "recap" or solder or anything like that. Plus, what kind of a monitor could I possibly get for it today?

Hi guys. Sorry I've been so negligent of late. I've been in the middle of trying to get the dust to settle after an out-of-state move, and wouldn't you know it, Murphy's law strikes. As I'm going through the stress of trying to reestablish my life in a new state and city, my MacBook Pro's main...

Yeah, I appreciate your comments and feedback guys, but this isn't happening LOL I'll seek out someone who knows how to do this when I have the opportunity to pursue it.  Thanks!

I am not. Never did such work in my life. 

Hey guys, it's been over four years and a lot has happened since this thread was last active. I suffered a prolonged un- / under-employment drought, and a bout with homelessness. Fortunately, things are currently looking up again (hopefully).  I'm wondering: IF I decided to pursue this in the...

Ha... alright Elfen. And thanks y'all. As a famous cybernetic organism once said, I'll be back. First.. I need to get re-employed. 

Guys, I don't know what to say. What a wealth of responses.  I'm currently unemployed, so right now that all's a luxury. But, now that I know there's a chance I can get this old dog functioning again, I will come back to address it. Thank you guys so much. I met my late wife through that...

I bought this machine used in the late 90s just to jump onto the internet. Cost me $200 in... 1997? Anyway, since then I bought more updated Macs and currently have a 5yo Macbook Pro. That all being said, I'd love to see if this old machine's still usable and what could be done with it. I tried...
