I had a MacIIci given to me about 5 years ago, cos the floppy was knackered. I took the thing apart, had the floppy out of it, and used the hoover (yes you heard me right!) VERY carefully to suck out all the dust and crud that had gathered. worked a treat after that - I was even able to upgrade the OS to 7.5.3.

if you cant get it working (even after the Isopropyl treatment mentioned earlier) you could either try eBay, or one of Eyetech, Power Computing or Analogic .

Nice nick by the way ! which character did you prefer ?  :-D
