I'm going to get the PSU. But as I never mixed up with real and heavy hardware (except for some LCs I've opened), please tell me: how hard is to replace the PSU on the IIci? I saw something which looked like a screw, but I can't be sure. And how is the power connected? I saw a AT-like connector feeding the hard drive, but how is the connection to the motherboard?
Excuse me for my lousy ignorance,... but, except for this year, I have never mixed with hardware before :-) Greetings, ---------------------------- Manuel Marques http://manuelmarque.no.sapo.pt/ -----Original Message----- From: Vintage Macs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: domingo, 29 de Maio de 2005 12:53 To: Vintage Macs Subject: Re: IIci Power Supply; Was: What to do with IIcx?

We can compare notes. I think I have a PS I can fix you up with for postage & handling.
