@ironborn65 Plug in an ethernet cable and do Internet Recovery (Option-Shift-Command-R.)

@shu82 This is a long shot, but by any chance did you find any Applied Engineering cable adapters that convert the internal floppy disk connector into an external? There's nothing special about the cable, literally just internal connector on one end and external on the other, but it did have a...

I have a SuperMac Dataframe if you're interested. The HDD has stiction and won't spin up without some help, but you could swap it all out with a working drive. Perhaps the most interesting part is that it's an MFM Rodime drive connected to a custom MFM to SCSI adapter board.

@Iesca Are you in the U.S.?

I like the later mods that snake the SCSI port out the battery compartment for a very clean upgrade. That fan upgrade, however, is extremely clean.

Wow. Digital Betacam and Sony SVHS. I'm insanely jealous.

@shu82 Awesome. By any chance were there any boxes, manuals, disks, etc. for the accelerators?

This was how I did it: Take pictures of the items you're selling, noting any major defects. Make a list of all said items. Decide on a price for the items (what you want to get, but keep in mind what you're willing to let it go for if push comes to shove.) How much work do you want to do? Do...

@shu82 If you find one inside a IIfx that looks kinda like the big Daystar, lemme know. :)

If you're curious, electrolytics can explode like little sticky streamer poppers from New Years. They'll get their innards all over stuff. It's amusing to watch, but annoying to clean.

@Byrd If you don't mind a few modern things, I recommend you mosey on over to A2Heaven and try not to spend all your money. :D I've been told that if you email the owner, he can assemble out-of-stock parts for you. I highly recommend the FASTChip //e and the MEGA Audio. Since you have a...

Works great in Mouse Paint and Summer Games skeet shooting event. :)

Wow. That cache module made a huge difference.

If you still have the disk, it may be possible to still recover your files. There are a few people who specialize in data recovery and would likely do it for free.
