A friend just give me today a Macintosh iiFX on unknown working status, just the case with no cables, keyboard or monitor.
The part of the monitor i managed to figure out i need an DB15 to VGA adaptor.
The unit looks good, inside was a bit dusty (cleand it up), it's got a 68030 and a 68882 at 40Mhz (standard) and a nubus GFX card. Power botton is loose, pushing it doesn't do anything, scsi hd is a Maxtor 240mb and there's a Sony 1.44 floppy drive. Psu also looks good (from eyes point of view , have to open i up to see inside). Ram is fully populated with 30 pin simms, don't know the size. Motherboard looks excelent, no rust or leaking, just some dust.
The question, i've plugged the unit to power and pushed the swith and nothing appens, no hd activiti or floppy. Do i need a keyboard for the computer to start?? (imacs have a start button on keyboard....)
Does this machine is worth the trouble trying to fix it? It looks to be a rare type of 68k mac.
Thanks, JP
