It is uses a 25mhz Motorola 68030 processor. What
would be the
approximate Intel/PC equivalent? The 386DX-25? The 486DX-25? faster,
slower, what? I don't have much Mac experience at all. I own a Plus,
but after cleaning it, I haven't done anything with it but let it sit,
mainly because of the silly 800K drives.
IIRC, the general rule of thumb is:
8086 -- 68000
80286 -- 68020
80386 -- 68030
80486 -- 68040
It's once you start talking about Pentium and higher vs. PPC 601 and higher
than things start getting confusing.
It has a Radius video card, but unfortunately, the
Radius monitor got
sold separately. It was a "Pivot" monitor. I pulled the monitor of the
nonfunctioning IIcx and the ci boots fine, and is running System 7.1.
How much should I offer?
Very little. While it's still a good system, you really need old copies of
software. I've got an SE/30 that's got MS Word 5.1 on it, and it makes a
great word processor. Far better than Windows could do on a simular system.
