Motherboard
IIfx motherboard uses two 3.6V batteries and the machine will not start without them – it turns the power supply on by providing a battery voltage on one of the power supply pins.

Power Supply

1.4MB Sony MP-F75W-11G

Video Card
Formac ProNitron. The pictures on top of the page with the monitor are made with another graphics card. ProNitron produces too high resolution for the monitor I have. I also noticed some standard VGA monitors have also troubles with displaying the picture, but some don’t. This can be misleading as if the card was faulty, while it just needs a proper monitor.
Network Card
DaynaPORT E/II-3
Video Capture Card
SuperMac Spigot NuBus

Covers both the motherboard and power supply.

Some Dirt
Interesting to see how different the motherboards looked on these older computers in comparison to the motherboards in modern computers today.
I have a dead IIfx thanks to a double battery leak. Patiently waiting for a donor to appear on ebay. One day.
Hi, have you managed to find an Apple Macintosh II to use as a source? I ask because I have got a complete system including monitor, keyboard, mouse, image writer and manuals. I am looking to sell it. It has been in storage and unfortunately the hard drive (ie the Apple Macintosh II) doesn’t fire up but it could be useful as a source of parts.
Is it a pure II not fx cx etc? I might be interested to buy, I have no II yet.
