7100 in IIcx success!!

I did it! It only took me about 90 mins. I did a lot of plastic engineering (wasn't surgery - not nearly presise enough ;) ) produced a nice set of holes in the back panel for the plus and it all in all looks damn good IIMSSMS. Pictures will follow and I'm massively satisfied. -- Mark Benson

Re: 7100 in IIcx success!!

:). The only drawback is the PDS slot is not currently usable (I don't have the AV card anyway!) so I am using a NuBus Radius ThunderIV for graphics, which is no bad thing but I'd like toi be able to use the internal video (AV Video cable still pending). -- Mark Benson Vintage Macs List Nanny http
