FYI - I e-mailed the seller and he stated the CPU is socketed. Gary

lol. Hey JDW, do you have a picture of the socketed accelerator? It's my new Holy Grail. lol Gary

But that's it! It's all about the warm fuzzy! Having part of the dream gives one the hope that someday the socketed processor will be found and the board will be ready for it! I wouldn't pay the shipping for this one, but I posted this in case someone lived close and could pick it up locally...

I made an assumption based on what my understanding of what the socketed CPU looks like from a pic that I saw once but cannot recall where now. Please disregard my post as I am now not sure. I will do some searching and see if I can find the pic. Gary

Thanks for the tip, I just bought one. Does it add memory too? Gary

Yeah, those are hard to come by.

I have since acquired a IIsi ROM SIMM and a IIfx ROM SIMM See the close-up pics. Gary

The real deal.

No, its a separate card, like this one: I think later versions had it built in? Gary

Complete with cache daughterboard, wrist strap still sealed in the envelope, unused case badge, quad control software disk, a disk sealed in an envelope (what is it?) and a "temporary" manual (a photocopy of the manual with a note on it to contact them for the real version). "I feel the need...

One of my favorites is the HAL 9000 from 2001: "I'm completely operational, and all my circuits are functioning perfectly" http://www.moviesoundclips.net/movies1/hal/halfunc.wav Gary

I'm for it as well. Gary

Great minds think alike! Having already gone through steps 1 and 2, I pulled the battery, ready for a trip to the local Radio Shack as it tests at 1.2 volts. I'll start over then with the fresh battery. What's the best OS to run on this (or on the 6500, as I got one of those too)? Gary
