I had a number of IIFX's fall to their near death recently in what I'm calling the macavalanche - 3 fx's and an lc or two had a 4 to 5 foot (metre and a half) drop onto hard cement down in the basement. although a teardrop mouse didn't fare so well (crushed but functional!), and the internal FULLSIZED ( 20 kilos or so) killer hard drive ripped the scsi cable (the end stayed lodged in the motherboard), it appears to start up. I'm with the "can live through anything" camp. All I can say is thank god it's not the computer I use for production.
I also disabled a fan in the ps of one of these- wow , nice and quiet, and speedy!!, except for the hard drive. What I wanted was the "ramdrive" experience (32 megs o ram) and was trying to run a bloated(I wanted quicktime to run a quickcam) system 7.5 from a zip drive but could never get it to eject. Have any of you done this? Pete -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
