The radio museum here has two Mac IIci's to get rid of, along with an
Apple 14" colour monitor and ADB keyboard.
Is there any interest in these? If not the whole system, there are a
couple of 'special' boards in them:
- Pro Tools Audiocard
- Sound Accelerator II
- Radius Accelerated 24-bit Graphics
They are located in the Vancouver area, B.C., Canada. I could extract
and ship boards, I don't expect they are worth shipping whole units.
.. just thought I'd ask/offer, eWaste otherwise.

Actually, I'd like them both -- I use IIcis heavily. Bug me off list.

Hi Cameron, they are currently at the museum but they have to be
removed in short order (2 days) or they get tossed. If I can get them
home I can store them for awhile or otherwise extend their existence
for a bit.
I believe they are a long ways away from you, and across the border.
Postal code here is V3H 3A6. Let me know what you might be interested
in, or if you'd like some more details from them.

Save! They run Linux/m68k, NetBSD, etc, quite nicely - or System 7, of
course.

Far more importantly they run A/UX (mine has for a long while).

mention System 6 (was in a hurry).
But the bottom line is, these are wonderful little machines, very
reliable, compact, and compatible with a remarkable variety of operating
systems.
To expand on my Linux mention, I ran Debian, 2.2 kernel, and X11 with
AfterStep as my hacking machine for a while, a little over 10 years ago.
I was quite happy with it. NetBSD was also solidly supported on this
architecture. Unfortunately I never had much time to play with A/UX.

I'll do what I can to save the IIci's and get them to interested homes.

I hadn't thought of that - unixy-something on a
68K would be kind of
nice. I should do that on the Mac LC 475 that has been sitting in my
closet for 10 years.
I have a Q605 (LC 475's closest relative) with a full '040 that runs
NetBSD very nicely. It's actually pretty snappy, considering, although
it takes it a bit to generate SSH keys.
The 25MHz IIci runs NetBSD extremely reliably, just extremely slowly.
A/UX does much better on my 50MHz IIci (Daystar '030 + FPU card) than at
its stock speed.
It's surprising how practical Unix on a 68K Mac can be.

had it running my webserver for a year or so when I was in college

running on a Classic Mac, though it's beyond painful to use for a
variety of reasons :). (Really makes you appreciate how snappy classic
Mac OSes were.)
