Apple Macintosh IIci

I attempt to successfully boot up my vintage Apple Macintosh IIci computer. I also try to see if I can find a secret hidden in the IIci ROM.

LOL :-)

That Port is the IEEE 1284 parallel connection. Its used for a hight speed I/O connection to devices such as scanners and printers.

why is it when people boot up their old computer they act like they're trying to land on the moon?

That is an amazing monitor.

I loved taking apart the IIcx and IIci - modular design. Much easier than the IIvx, IIvi, Centris/Quadra 650 (which replaced the IIci basically) and Power Macintosh 7100

Love that vertical monitor!

I loved these old Macs. Used to use them in college. One rich kid, bought one of these I think it cost something like 2k at the time.

@pcmacp719c1 No, it's actually a port for an external floppy drive. IEEE 1284 was never used on Classic Macintoshes.

That port you're wondering about is a floppy drive connector. It works with the 3.5 drive, and I'm not sure if it works with a Apple II 5.25 drive or not.

I like the Mac II's a lot, but I haven't had one (I had the relatively wimpy but still awesome IIsi) since I was 8 or so :-(

I can back him up on that, I got an Apple external floppy drive few weeks back and he's dead right.

I only collect compact black and white ones (all-in-one), but I still like the non all-in-ones :)
