Great! You know, I recall somewhere that there was an undocumented "fix" for all Macs - essentially it called for the dropping of said Mac from a height of 12 inches, onto a hard flat surface. I will admit to doing this several times in the 20 years I have played with these machines (Apples and

All: Thank you for your many suggestions in my efforts to resurrect my IICX from dormancy. I wish I was able to share which fix worked but unfortunately I can't. I went to the workbench this morning to attempt a couple of the latest checks suggested, hit the power key on the keyboard and it

Silly questions, perhaps, but since it says that it was not shut down properly, I'll ask. Do you have a cat, dog, child or Giant Rat of Sumatra that may have knocked your power cord? Power outage? Checked your power supply? Is this happening often, or only once or twice? jt Rich S wrote: > Have

Have a IIcx running as a DNS. Installed OS 7.5.5. Was running well until recently. Seems to work OK while "at the office," but by the time I return (later the same day, or the next day) the machine has shutdown. Hit the startup button and it boots with the usual "not shutdown properly" message

IIcx Problem

All, Sorry about all the newbie questions, but... I've just downgraded an IIcx w/17MB RAM from SSW 7.5.5 to SSW 7.1. I have installed Sys. Update 3.0 and have installed MacTCP and the appropriate Ethernet card drivers. I have also installed Netscape 3.0.4 and upgraded the RAM to 20MB.
