You can put either a 3.5 or a 5.25 hard drive in a

Brackets are available for either.
Also make sure you have an additional floppy on hand

LocalTalk is ideal since all Macs have the capability

This is a far fetched idea and it may not make any
difference, but I remember that Pluses worked best
with a drive that was formatted with a 3:1 ratio. The
SE/30, which probably formatted the drive, used a 1:1.
I can't say for sure if this will make a difference,
but it is worth investigating.

I've been on these lists for a few months now and am
wondering if anyone was ever in my old position as a
school computer admin from back in the day. I got my
job in September 1992 and retired in August 2005 so I
could do more freelance consulting and repair.
Back when I started we had a ton of
The Mini DIN8 was first seen on the Plus and persisted
through subsequent Macs until the iMacs and blue and
whtie G3s in 1998-1999. The ports were labeled as

The only Macs with 9 pin serials for printer and modem
were the 128K, 512K, and 512Ke. The 512Ke was
discontinued in
If you want a more reliable one the best thing to do
is find a platinum-colored Mac Plus and swap the board
with the one in there. Later Pluses seemed more
reliable--I've never seen one fail and I had to work
with a ton of Pluses (both colors) in the early 1990s.
In general it seems to be cheaper
Out of curiosity, which power supply do you have? I've
seen both Astec and GE in IIci's (and IIcx's) and have
found the Astecs to be quirky. The GE ones are more
reliable. It sounds like it's a problem with the slot
so I'm willing to suspect the motherboard first, but
do check on the power supply
Check the archive (I think I posted it here) for
something about a Possessed IIcx. It has something
to do with the aging power supplies in the machines
and your problem sounds like mine before something
possessed the IIcx. I think it might be a capacitor

I've worked in IT since 1992 and have operated on
