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
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

The Astec power supply used in the Mac IIcx, IIci, and Quadra 700 often fails.
One of the symptoms is the inability to start up and the only way to fix' it
is to temporarily unplug the Mac for a while, them plug it back in later. This
is due to the failure

In my experience, the components that most often have

True, usually the electrolytics. But without a schematic, they're
impossible to track down. The power on circuitry is partly under the

I always first suspect moving parts.

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.
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?

Thought the same thing. Been running coverless for a day or two. Still,
problem persists.

I get a Bus Error (Error Code 1) when I play Despair. While I love this
game I do weary of the wrrors. Funny thing is, not every copy of this game
does this to me.
Played it last night (errors and all) on my IIci (7.5.5, 32M RAM, 400+ M HD)

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.

That, or so I thought, only works on NN 2.0.2, doesn't it?
It bombs with MacWeb, too.
As Gregg said, did you install Mode32?
Yes
Why not run Netscape 4 on there? 3.x was buggy as hell. Not that 4.x
