Still have your stuff for sale?

Re: upgrade a IIci - any comments?
Sonnet is off loading their Presto 040 card. I picked one up from ebay about 3 weeks ago for about $20. It's selling for about $100 at their web site. sherman On Wed, 11 Aug 2004 14:15:07 +0200 (CEST), Marco van de Voort [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [old msg] Hi all I just got an IIci and want to upgrade that box somehow.

Kind regards Hans ~ First, it's my favorite modular Mac of all-time. Period. I have a stock one with a cache card. I've had several with Diimo and Daystar accelerators. That rocks. Especially with lotsa RAM. And it's so darned upgradeable. I have one currently with the guts from a Umax 500C in it. No floppy drive, but I'm running a certified 180Mhz. PowerPC in a IIci case.

I dunno if the Turbo 040 can boot from an HFS+ drive with Mac OS 8.1. Harder to find is the 66 or 100 Mhz Turbo 601. (Especially the 100.) I had a IIci with a 50Mhz 030 and one with a 66Mhz 601. Overall I found it to work better with the 030. Even though the Turbo 601 ROM has SCSI Manager 4.3 built in, any software that requires that refuses to recognize it is there. Lasdt time I entered the word nubus into the main search on eBay, there were several auctions for Asante 10/100 ethernet cards, all selling very cheap or not getting any bids. I got one for a paltry $5 plus shipping. They're factory refurbished ones in shrinkwrapped boxes. = It's total Fandemonium! http://www.fandemonium.org __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

check e-bay for Sonnet Presto CPU upgrade - the company is getting rid of them and are auctioning them off on e-bay. I just got mine.

Re: upgrade a IIci - any comments?
Hans, I have a IIci and a IIsi both with NuBus Ethernet cards. One is an Apple and the other is Asanté. I cannot tell you if they are Fast Ethernet (100BaseT) or just plain ol' 10BaseT. I assume the latter. Is there any particular make and model Ethernet card you are looking for? -- Brandon On Jul 14, 2004, at 8:51 PM, Hans Anwikar wrote: Hi all I just got an IIci and want to upgrade that box somehow.
