It will set you back the princely sum of CHF 3.70. The black terminator is packed and will be posted tomorrow sometime. What to do? I'm sure the IIfx is in good nick, not a single error from the internal SCSI 500 Mb Apple HD (which I kept luckily spare). Right now I feel a little stuck, spending € 300 on a computer with cards that seems to be an isolated island. Besides, I'm stick with a 1996 NuBus ethernet card that is not mentioning any brand at all. Might be tricky if not impossible to mount opticals on OS X media with 68k written drivers.

Explore an alternative route: buy a USB or FireWire to SCSI adaptor for my Mac Pro and transfer through ftp (utilizing my NAS drive).Search again for a ready to buy, proven terminator solution.Give Trash 80's suggestion a chance and look for wiring instructions for someone to work with.For the sake of simplicity I used only the bare minimum at the moment: just the SuperMac Thunder, minimizing possible conflicts (I was surprised by the way that this Mac came with so many cards in the first place).By switching off the terminator switches on CD burner and MO drives, testing both passive and active terminators on the end of the SCSI chain, hooking up a single device at a time.Same for the Digidesign SampleCell II and Radius VideoVision Studio, a Hurdler II and an unknown 10/100 brandless ethernet card. RasterOps Paintboard Li and Paintboard Turbo and the SuperMac Thunder 24 as well as Thunder II work fine. So for now, I'll focus on testing and getting this work in pure 68030 mode.

I found out it doesn't like the TrueVision TARGA 2000, the DigiDesign AudioMedia I and the MicroNet Raven Pro cards.

At this stage I didn't fancy tearing down the Mac down to check for the same date codes located on controller chips near the internal SCSI port, hidden away underneath the drive holding plateau, hoping this info will be sufficient.Īnd by the way, a logic board bar code starting with 107, assuming I'm right it stands for week 7 of 1990, doesn't make sense with chips with production dates from around week 28 and 39. On the other hand, chips very often are marked with a four digit 'yymm' code. Wiki mentions 19 March 1990 as introduction week, so that's week 12. 7, right? If that's true, it seems I have actually a very, very first model. About the barcode, if I am correct, CK stands for Cork, '1' for 1991 and '07' for week No. A second clue might be a hand-written sticker that doesn't make sense to me (see photo).

Speaking regarding it's production date: a barcode sticker, located mid-front on the logic board reads *CK1070G102MA*. Trash 80: The active termination suggestion is one I almost made, but the active application of termination whenever needed isn't necessarily the same as providing enough termination for an early IIfx. However, at this stage, my ioMega ZIP-drive gives errors and both the JAZ and 5 1/4" MO drive aren't even recognized (by FWB HD Toolkit 1.6.2, 1.8 and CharisMac). If that's the case, worst case scenario I'll juggle around, attaching one device at a time. I'm a little confused but from what I understand, this might work perfectly for adding just a single attached e.g. Nglevin: The last time the legendary black terminator came up, it was thought to be unnecessary. Either way Trash 80, I've never soldered in my life but with the right info I might ask a local person to sort me out and craft what you suggested. Of the NuBus cards that came with the IIfx, one is a FWB JackHammer, which has 3 (empty) sockets for terminators. Are those intended for SIP resistor packs? Another NuBus SCSI card from 1994 MicroNet Raven Pro hasn't got any of those. That should be as simple as soldering some olde schoole color coded resistor leads together and poking them in the convenient holes. Trash 80: Building your own shouldn't be difficult, especially if any one of your older SCSI devices has provision for SIP resistor packs. I haven't the faintest idea what that means.That's a swift reaction! Apology for my lack of technical knowledge: I found the following in the Sad Mac Error Codes postings: Every other time, I get no video displayed at all. Still occurs.ĭuring one of many restarts, I also got the code that in the Dead Mac Scrolls for a IIsi of all things says that it is an HD issue, but I disconnected the HD and it still happens. Not sure what exactly I did, or if I did anything.next, I removed the batteries for a few minutes, figured I'd clear the PRAM and 32-bit addressing in case there was bad RAM causing an issue at the startup check. Disconnected/connected the HD, same thing. Got the chime.then the chime of death cord.

Restarted the machine via software restart. Figured I'd see just how much memory this thing really has. I did only two things:changed the monitor to millions of colors, and turned on 32-bit addressing.
