I have a IIci with a dead PSU, but it has an expansion card called TransWarp
CI-50.
Can anyone tell me how much would that card accelerate? I wanted to know if
it worth the effort of ordering a PSU from EBay. (the only problem is that I
don't know what to find - my dead one is a Astec Model No. AA15831) - can
anyone tell me if I could replace it with a Quadra 610 one?
From the model number it sounds like it is a 68030 running at 50 MHz,
but that is only a guess based on the '50' in the model number. If
that guess is correct, then it would be about 2X faster than the IIci
for CPU functions, but video and disk operations would still hold you
back.
The IIci's power supply can be replaced by a power supply from a
IIcx, IIci, IIvi, IIvx, Centris 650, Quadra 650, Quadra 700, or
PowerMac 7100. That power supply had a long run in various models.
The Q610 PS will not work.
Actually, you can power a IIci mother board with a IIsi power supply
as well, but there's no way it would fit properly in the IIci case
and it does not provide as many available watts.
Sellers on Ebay are likely to mention which computer the power supply
came from, not the Astec model number of the power supply. You might
also try places such as MacResQ and PowerOn. Oh, and the LEM list
Swap List. I suspect that if you post a WTB (want to buy) to that
list you will get a few responses. I find that the Swap List doesn't
work for me for some reason (am happily subscribed to six other LEM
lists) so I'm not a user.
