davis_squarefree to a good home: Power Mac 8500
this was my first desktop mac, i've had it since 1996, when i paid a mere $3700 for it (educational discount, w00t!). over the years its been a good desktop and a reliable internet server, and it has run System 7.5, MacOS 8 & 9, several version of BeOS and a couple Linux distributions.
it includes an Adaptec 2940 LVD SCSI card, ATI Rage 128 video card, and a 10/100 ethernet card. it has a 233 MHz 604e processor (upgraded from its original 150 MHz). it will take a G4 upgrade and can run Mac OS X (all versions) using Sonnet's PCI Mac OS X Upgrade Software.

it currently has no hard drive installed, and i'm not sure how much RAM is in there -- i think i scavanged it for RAM a couple years ago. i can see two DIMMs, so i think it either has 16 meg or 128 meg. i have some drive trays for it, and i think i have both some SCSI-2 and LVD drives you're welcome to have for it.
come and get it. Davis/Porter Square area.
