Is it possible to take the disk and system configured for a MacIIcx, and plug it into a MacIIfx and expect it to work without any reconfiguration? fred seibel@bbn.com 617-873-2445

Interesting theoretical question. I don't personally know if you have for instance same cards in the same slot IDs in the machines would avoid a reconfiguration. In most cases it's maybe better that the system does a reconfig when encountering new cards though.

As far as I can remember, it does not care where the monitor card is. I think AUX does a sequential search for monitor cards at boot time. -- Silica gel -- No not eat. steveg@ni.umd.edu

I would bet yes. I upgraded my II to a IIfx with no difficulties with the hard drive. Just plug and play. If it is an external drive you may have to look into some termination issues. The IIfx comes with a speacial SCSI terminator - see manual I'm not sure on the details. GL GSM Responsibility for the views expressed here belongs only to myself and not to any organization.
