My absolutely standard IIcx runs A/UX and as the main difference between a
IIcx and a IIci is the number of Nubus slots, it'll just work. I've only
got 8Mb of memory in the IIcx (it used to cost lots of money) but plan to
upgrade real soon now seeing memory got cheaper in the last 15 years :-)

Teehee! ;)

Somehow I suspect this guy is going to have that hardware for a
while, now that the word has gotten out.

Hi folks. Some time ago, I found an online archive of scans of the
front covers of every issue of BYTE magazine. Now I'd very much like
to look at that again, but I can't seem to find it...searching BYTE's
web site, and a little googling, have turned up nothing. Does anyone
know where that might be found?

It's certainly possible.

Heh, I second the kicking the guys' ass idea, especially if I could end up
with the Varian.. I'd love a 2nd one, especially since his has a rack and
everything! But just a reminder, don't go for the "bid tons o' cash on it"
idea, since ebay bids are considered legally binding contracts...

I like this for the "teach them a lesson" factor... but if you are going
to go thru the trouble of using custom patch cables... why not just use
custom port connectors as well? Maybe something like the old 4 prong
phone connectors (don't know the name... those 4 straight pin blocks old
telco supplied phones used to have), or even something like a DIN
connector.
I don't know the electrical side of things though... so I don't know how
bad this would screw up the cat rating for high speed connections.

Let the Holy Wars commence!
Seriously, I have a chance to trade some PC stuff for either a IIsi or
a IIci. Both are barebones - no harddrives, adapters or RAM. Looking
at LowEndMac and Apple support, I'm leaning toward the IIci, but I
thought for once I'd take advice *before* the aquisition. It'll
probably run either A/UX or Linux/m68k.
My main concern is RAM. They'll both take <100ns 30-pin non-parity,
right? Any other gotchas? Yes, I have a Nubus video card.

I know this will be OT for a couple more years but I can't stand it.
I'm sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the arrival of my
latest addition. I scored a dual 133 BeBox from ebay last week. One
more line item marked off the must have list. I think it'll look cool
sitting next to the Dimension cubes. I've got a 19" monitor all warmed
up and waiting for it's arrival! BTW, does anyone know if a keyboard
shipped with a BeBox, or whether it was a used supplied item? If it was
shipped with one, does anyone know what mfg or model? I'm going to post
this on usenet and on some BeBox forums, but thought one of you guys
might know.
