Not clear whether that is one 4-MB module, or what. (IIfx RAM has to be installed in groups of four). I queried them. Thanks.

nopro! that's the lower of only two prices i found, shop around, there can't be all that much demand for the stuff YET! if you find anything bigger, let me know! i also need one of the special external terminators, i haven't even looked for one yet.

here is a link to the thread with some shots of the work in progress (on hold atm) on mine:

The reason for the high price, as you doubtless know, is that the IIfx uses unique RAM (64-pin), so it's rare. Same with that black terminator (I have only one, unfortunately). It was a weird beast.

Eight 4MB modules would be $48, a lot for a box that I have no real use for (but 48MB times RAMdoubler would be 96MB! I think the maximum for the IIfx was 128MB).

If anyone's got some IIfx 4 (or higher) MB RAM they want to TRADE, I've got:

a IIci CPU with a bad HD (but ran fine otherwise the last time I used it);

also two Stylewriter 4100 inkjet printers (one whole, one in pieces), that I'd like to move out;

also an Epson Stylus Color 600 inkjet printer that my son dropped a penny in and bent some spring, so he couldn't get it working again;

For computer historians, I've also got a Tandy 1000EX and monitor sitting in the basement. It uses 5.25" floppies; I'll include some games (amaze your friends with the obsessive/compulsive treat, Marble Madness!).

If any of you want to BUY these items, make an offer.

I have eight IIfx RAM SIMMs for sale! I'm not sure what the capacity of them is, but I'll find out later tonight. I'm
almost positive that at least four of them are 16MB SIMMs, though. Check out my thread in the trading post for
updates!

do you want to hear the looong rambling story behind me getting stuck holding onto all these macs during the summer? (poor me...)

And... if anyone else wants to donate their old macintosh (any model, doesnt matter, I plan on putting the really old ones in the 1-2 classes for old educational games) I would prefer if you pay the shipping, but it's nagotiable.

thnx
"Boo Yah!"

I wouldn't mind donating to a school, but shipping to Canada could be pricey. Let's talk further.

IIfx RAM has to be installed in groups of four, so one 16-MB SIMM won't do much good unless I can find three more.

/Mr Lynn

THnx
"why do you vibrate like that? vitamin dificcency i bet..."

8 4 meg Simms for LW IIg, should be same for IIfx, IIRC no bids, min bid 17.95 buy now 18.95 3 hrs 20 min to go.

"do you think 5 scoops of coffe is too much?"
THNNNX!!

boredomconquersall: Sorry for the delay in responding (wish I had time to be bored). I got a sortof reply from the macpower guy, but all he said was,

"What city are you in
I do have some Ram... "

So I told him, and wait. The one 16MB chip you have won't help much without three more (the IIfx wants groups of four).

And cinemafia keeps telling me he's going to fire up HIS IIfx....

So what is this school you want donations for? Do you work there? I'm a little apprehensive about cannibalizing the ROMs out of my IIci and putting them in a IIsi. I don't doubt your word that it can be done, but it seems a shame to basically destroy the IIci, when all it wants is a better HD--it's the purist in me, I guess.

I don't have any similar reservations about the StyleWriter 4100, but I'd like someone to cover my shipping (both the intact one and the one in pieces--it's a project just boxing up the things).

Re games. We have some going back to the original Dark Castle (won't run under >6.0.4) and Crystal Quest (won't run under MultiFinder), and then some color ones the kids used when the IIci was our household computer: Vette, SimAnt, a bunch of others. I'd have to clear sending original stuff with the kids (now in college or beyond), but I can send or upload copies of the old System 6 games (they were pirates, anyway).

Education software--not much, except Mavis Beacon--oh, and... what's her name? historical trivia games (if anyone's interested, I'll go and look up titles). Little kids' games: that was in the Tandy era, on 5.25" floppies. You can have the computer AND the games: Marble Madness, Mickey's Space Adventure, stuff like that.

Now, what's *really* in that 'coffee' you're drinking?

the moo32 was my friends 32 bit commadore 64 (yes 32 bit) that he modified

"it's bloody hot! look! someone is having a barbicue on their car's hood"
*note
I did in fact see someone making a steak on their car hood last year when the tempriture reached 41

Anyway, I've decided to hang onto the IIci for the time being.

I can still ship the Stylewriter 4100s, but will require payment for shipping in advance. I'm in the States.

I'd be willing to pay something (but not much) for IIfx RAM, IF it really exists and IF it is really for the IIfx (unique 64-pin SIMMs) and IF it is >1MB (4, 8, or 16MB, in groups of four sticks), and IF it is guaranteed to work. The contact you referred me to asked a couple of questions, then vanished.

Will e-mail a couple of System 6 games when I get a chance.

Still haven't figured out what kind of RAM is in my IIfx...man am I slow. I've just been really busy with lots of other things.

I've got a IIfx motherboard and 20mb of RAM from an IIx upgrade which I will probably never get to. Working, just needs PRAM batteries.

If someone (Mr. Lynn or other) wants to make me a reasonable offer or toss me some kind of interesting/useful Mac-related item, it's all yours.

John: I might be interested in the motherboard, to keep as a spare. If the RAM is from a IIx, though, it won't work in a IIfx, which requires unique 64-pin SIMMs.
