Message-ID: <3954@dftsrv.gsfc.nasa.gov> Date: 19 Nov 90 16:34:24 GMT Sender: news@dftsrv.gsfc.nasa.gov Reply-To: jim@jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov (Jim Jagielski) Organization: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Lines: 21 I'm thinking of upgrading to a IIfx (logic board upgrade path) and was interested in anyone else's experience in this area... I've heard of severe incompatibilities, hard disks not working (25-pin ones, that is), serial ports giving up the ghost, etc... and was hoping to get the "full" story, both good and bad. I've got a Daystar 50-enhanced MacII which is doing well, but I really do need that little extra bit more that the IIfx supplies. However, if I'll spend more time down than up, forget it!
