I've checked the battery and it is completely DEAD - 0.01 V! Is the battery vital to the startup circuitry? (the IIci only powers up by using the keyboard button?). I'll try finding one in a photographic house tomorrow.
But I am still considering your offer, ajmoss. Fares inside the EU are lower. And there are no customs. Greets, Manuel Jorge M.

It's a TransWarp CI-50(Applied Engineering). I haven't checked the battery yet... but I'll try, just to make sure it's not the problem!!! Oh, and it will RUN 8.1. I'll install Born Again, and they say on their website that a IIci is compatible with it... ;-) Greets, Manuel Jorge M.

Is that 50Mhz 030 a Daystar one? It needs the control panel to enable the CPU and FPU on it. The 32K cache always works on them. The Daystar cards are VERY static sensitive! When not installed in a Mac, they need to be SNUGLY wrapped in an ESD bag and not allowed to slop and flop around with stuff like foam pellets or Tyvek priority mail envelopes. I got two formerly working ones in the mail a few years ago, that were DOA because the static got them even inside an ESD bag. The factory Daystar packaging was a snug ESD bag then firmly strapped to a piece of cardboard that fit into a box that allowed no movement. NEVER plug that card into anything but a IIci, IIvi, IIvx PDS, or another Mac that has the Daystar adaptor. Even though the card will physically fit onto the mainboard of a IIsi or SE/30, IT WILL FRY without the proper adaptor. A IIci with a 50Mhz 030 (and 50Mhz 6882 FPU to match) is very speedy. It won't run OS 8.1 without a hack like Wish I Were because 8.1 will not install or boot on any Mac with a CPU older than an 040 or PPC. It will be total Fandemonium!
