Okay, now here is where the unfamiliarity with Macs will raise its ugly head. There are three (I suspect to be) NUBUS headers. These are, looking from front to rear, on the left side of the logic board.
Yes, NuBus connectors.
There is something which looks like a simm slot, which is empty, and I suspect that is the ROM SIMM slot.
It's 64 pins, but it is a ROM SIMM slot.
Then there is something which looks like a longer, dark brown colored, NUBUS header, which has a card attached to it.
Actually a slightly different connector from NuBus. This is the PDS (processor direct slot) for the IIci. That's probably a cache card (32K L2) installed, but could be a nifty upgrade if there's a CPU on the card.
There are also 8 sticks of RAM in 8 SIMM slots at the front of the Logic Board.
There is a jumper on W1 and I will remove that since it seems there is no ROM SIMM.
Actually, W1 should be jumpered if there is no ROM SIMM (just looked in one of my IIcis), which there never is, because there was never a ROM upgrade for the IIci and they all shipped with the ROM soldered down--I think. Willing to have someone chime in and explain that early IIcis shipped with a SIMM, but I don't think that was the case.
The ROM in the IIci is soldered down in the form of four 32 pin DIPs which can be found on the motherboard under the floppy drive shelf near the front of the motherboard.
The two daughter cards were a Network Card (10 Base2) and what seems to be an add-on video card.
NuBus cards? What does the video card look like. Jeff Walther -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
