Hi all,
I've posted an entire IIX CMI on ebay today and broken into components just in case anyone's after anything, starting price of £1 for most components! Also including an unused JB Edmond Flash drive purchased around a month ago
cheers

Sad to see such a beautiful machine being broken apart.
On the other hand, such an act only increases the value of the remaining IIx machines still in existence making them yet rarer.

yes David,
it is gut wrenching, although the buyers who go for the keyboard, monitor, qwerty etc will possibly adding them to incomplete systems and effectively creating 'new' complete systems, you may find as a result of splitting a system like this you create 3 new ones. I've just hit the buffers in terms of what I can invest in this machine now.

Hello everybody, I have one question, maybe someone can quickly reply (because time is running out): In my IIx are two YD-180 drives installed. One of them has reading problems. Tony has slaughtered his CMI and put his drives on ebay as we all know. My question is: Can I combine one working YD-174 and one YD-180 to make a complete running system, or is there any significant difference between them that would make it impossible or difficult ? Thanks for any help Roland

I\u2019m willing to be corrected here as I\u2019m only a software dude J
From memory the motors in the YD-174\u2019s are powered by 120v, and there was no option on the drives themselves to run them at 240v, so two were required to work with 240v. (in series)
So, first you need to check if your MainFrame has the 120/240v cables pre-wired.
Then someone else will have to confirm if a single YD-174 can be used when being used with 240v or you will need a step down transformer.
