I don't believe a IIci can use 120ns RAM. I had trouble with mine with 100ns RAM I had in storage. My IIci has 32-bit 16MB 60ns SIMMs in it. I wouldn't use anything slower than 80ns myself. Maybe it's just my IIci, but then they are both like that. > The HDD is SCSI. That was the only upgrade i could preform. 250mb now. There are a variety of other upgrades you can use. I picked out a 50MHz Daystar Powercache for mine, and you can also get 68040 upgrades, and PowerPC upgrades for a IIci. > For ram, the only thing i could suggest for getting ram that you know is > good and hasn't been handled is to find someone selling a whole bust > computer for spares then you could transfer the ram sticks across. If you are willing to pay, you can get new RAM. It's very, very expensive. They have to keep making small quantities to support long-running systems. There is a Sun reseller or two on eBay who dumps RAM frequently, a lot of which will work in Apple systems. Make sure you check our IIci to see if it needs parity RAM. You can find out how to tell at various web sites. > To find out what other pre-powermac computers use that kind of ram then go > to my website at: http://megamacs.tripod.com (You will only get two popups) > I will have to check why the IIci link is missing.
