SiliconValleyPirate Junior Member United Kingdom 273 Posts	Posted - 24 May 2002 : 08:03:41 Whilst getting my map printed for my final year project in our Universirty Cartography Dept. I noticed a redundant PowerMac 7500 sitting in the guys office who was handling my printing (he is also the manager of the Cartography unit). He has a PowerBook G4 and everyone else in the unit has a G3 or G4 desktop. I thought nothing more of it until this morning (GMT) when I was thinking about not being able to afford anymore Mac stuff (I've just bought an LC630 and TV Kit and a stack of other misc. bits for Ł85) and I remebered this Mac. I decided, seeing as they are the only Apple powered concdern on the main campus, to ask this guy if he had any redundant Mac gear slopping around he wanted to shift. Sure enought he has 3 PowerMacs and a IIci. I dunno what I'll have to pay to get them off him but I will almost certainly get the IIci thrown on free. I'll keep you guys posted on the IIci. -- Mark Benson Visit FlatPackMacs Online http://fpm.gotdns.com We have feets Wooohoo! I have a green star Macs Liberated = 10

SiliconValleyPirate Junior Member United Kingdom 273 Posts	Posted - 25 May 2002 : 01:34:23 Well I suppose you could call it a PowerBrick Mac, Tower Block Mac or even a Mac Tank? Either way I now probably have 2 IIcis and 2 6500s and an 840av so I could go for a city skyline :) I mentioned the LC630, it is sort of a liberation as it was jammed in a cupboard and cost me peanuts really. It was the complete, boxed Apple TV/Video kit I had to pay a king's ransom for, Ł35GB!! Anyhoo, I'm hoping it might have a tasty NuBus grahpics card in as it's a map work shop so it might be a cool pick-up :). -- Mark Benson Visit FlatPackMacs Online http://fpm.gotdns.com We have feets Wooohoo!

SiliconValleyPirate Junior Member United Kingdom 273 Posts	Posted - 29 May 2002 : 05:12:00 Well I got the stuff. I bought a 7200 and a 7500 for Ł85 and got a 7100 and a IIci thrown in free :). The IIci has the follwing spec: 20MB RAM Original 80MB hard disk Radius Precicion 8 Color card Asante AUI/10baseT NIC 2x Original Extended Keyboard IIs I think I landed a live one here, I just need to clean the dust bunnies out of it and clean the outside if the case. I have exams until June 11th though . BTW, anyone got an idea where I can get Radius Precision 8 drivers for the card, I tried Radiusware 3.3.x and it doesn't work fully. It has some drivers on it I think but I don't know what they are and I'd like a full set if anyone can tell me where to get them. -- Mark Benson Visit FlatPackMacs Online http://fpm.gotdns.com We have feets Wooohoo!

I just uploaded Radius SuperVideo 3.1 to QuadraJet's mirror server (68k.dns2go.com) last night. They include specifics for your card and should work fine! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 Regular Disappear!
