[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Mac IIcx to IIci upgrade

johnsonr@news.colorado.edu (Richard Johnson) (06/17/91)

I'm thinking seriously about upgrading my IIcx to a IIci.  I'm wondering
about little things like a hole in the case for the IIci video port.

I asked the local dealer/repair folks about whether the case has to be
replaced as part of the upgrade, but their reply was less than
enlightening: "There is no way to upgrade a IIcx to a IIci."

So, can someone fill me in on just what goes on during such an "impossible"
upgrade?  I'd really hate to lose the decals on my IIcx case...

Time to get a new dealer.  Apple has had a IIcx to IIci upgrade for quite some
time now, in fact they just lowered the price by quite a bit.  Also MacWeek
says there will be a Apple 68040 upgrade for the cx and ci.  Sorry I don't know
the details of the upgrade but rest assured there is and always has been one.
