Working on IIci I picked up at swap meet. Ex-Cisco, it's gonna be sweet.

Not sure about -12, but probably just audio?

No power on chime.

Screen is black, monitor wakes up. Haven't used the DB-15 to VGA 6 switch

Recapped the A1200 motherboard I picked up and it booted! Now trying to
decide on keyboard options.
