Hey everyone,
I'm new to the vintage macs list. I'm trying to resurrect my old Mac IIci. It boots up fine and seems to be in the condition I left it about 8 years ago.
I've ordered an Ethernet card, a cache and 32megs of RAM. It's running system 7.5.3 with an 80meg hard drive.
First question, does anyone know where the battery sits and how you replace it? There's something that appears to be the internal battery, but it looks like it's soldered.
Second question, since this Mac doesn't have any internet software on it, how do you get anything like Netscape 2.0 or Claris Emailer on there? I've got PC exchange, but so far I haven't had any luck moving things over. The Mac just sees the apps as some PC file and won't run them.
Third question, does anyone have their old Macson a PC LAN? I've got a couple PCs hooked up to DSL through a router. What can you do with an old Mac if you stick it on a network like this? Can you use it as a fileserver for the PCs?
Thanks!
Thomas Burns
