Posted by: ClassicGuyPhilly on 2024-04-03 06:54:52 Thanks @jmacz ! Ain't this a pretty sight?
Posted by: jmacz on 2024-04-03 07:04:31 That is awesome with the M1297/M0401, AEKI and older adb mouse! I have the M0401 and AEKI with mine as well but no longer have the older mouse as I gave it to a friend. Will get another one sometime.
Posted by: ClassicGuyPhilly on 2024-04-03 07:51:49 Right on! I like to keep my peripherals period-correct to the system. I will say all those Brits who keep showing off their Kensington Turbo Mice will eventually make me get one for the IIfx!

I will say all those Brits who keep showing off their Kensington Turbo Mice will eventually make me get one for the IIfx! Haha, I went overboard with those turbo mice. I have three of the 5.0, three of the 4.0, and one of the 3.0s.

Posted by: ilitch64 on 2024-04-03 13:23:43 Glad I could help!! Hopefully it all holds up. That memory module is probably fixable don’t throw it away!!

I will say all those Brits who keep showing off their Kensington Turbo Mice will eventually make me get one for the IIfx! The problem with them is... I keep forgetting and turning it upside down.

Posted by: alectrona6400 on 2024-04-03 14:05:30 I just found out about this thread. I seriously envy you. I'm aspired to rescue stuff again, but every opportunity I have doesn't seem to work out. ;_;
Posted by: Phipli on 2024-04-03 14:13:00 I just found out about this thread. I seriously envy you. I'm aspired to rescue stuff again, but every opportunity I have doesn't seem to work out. ;_; Sometimes it's just a case of coming back to things. If I'm struggling with a machine I put it to one side and come back to it when I have new ideas, or even skills 🙂 Any failed repair is just more project opertunities. Besides, working on them is the fun bit. It's always harder to work out what to do after they're finished!
Posted by: ClassicGuyPhilly on 2024-04-03 14:13:48 Glad I could help!! Hopefully it all holds up. That memory module is probably fixable don’t throw it away!! The man of the hour himself, ladies and gents! 😉 Will keep the 4MB SIMM. Any PBX updates? And thank you very much @alectrona2988 !
Posted by: ClassicGuyPhilly on 2024-04-03 14:14:25 I told it too, but it doesn't seem to be listening to me. Hmmmm...Mouse must be part cat!

Posted by: volvo242gt on 2024-04-04 12:16:22 Another good choice for a period correct setup... M1298 and M0116, with the correct A9M0331 mouse.
Posted by: ClassicGuyPhilly on 2024-04-05 04:58:01 Very nice looking IIfx system you have there @volvo242gt 😉
Posted by: volvo242gt on 2024-04-05 16:18:37 Likewise, @ClassicGuyPhilly.
