Hmmm, you need to use Diskcopy to make those floppy disks. They should fit on a floppy fine. Outside of trying that again, you could borrow an external CD-ROM and put the installer on there. Also, go to: ftp.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-

It will do both. It will show a modest 5-10% increase in CPU and memory speeds, but your video will be noticeably slower. The on board video in a IIci runs at 25MHz, as you mentioned, the NuBUS cards can only pipe data through a 10MHz bus. Still, a good accelerated NuBUS video card is not a

Some 603ev chips do have the thermocouple on them. Most notably the ones used in the PowerBooks. I know that my 5300 and 5300cs do. And although I'm not 100% I fairly well recall my PM6500/250 being able to do temp. Neither was with Gauge PRO though. I've long since forgotten what apps I did

I can't speak for the IIcx, but I know the IIci required 80ns or faster. I think the majority of the 30pin SIMMs out there are 80ns though. Just seems wierd to think that 80ns was considered insanely fast only about 10yrs ago. Then again my Performa 400 wasn't too bad then either :) -Robyn

Epson by far makes the printers with the best print quality, but you should be a person that uses one a fair bit before you get one. I myself have gone through a few of them. The dried ink is a common problem if you leave it to sit for a few months (I tended to use mine a lot for 3 months, and
