I've actually had this eMac since 2007 or 2008 (Leopard had JUST been released) but never really documented it or even mentioned it.
Backstory is there used to be a place in Napa that did computer training, after school programs,etc for kids and this was donated. They had no use for an eMac and I got it. At the time I didn't know it was anything special, just thought it was a 1 GHz eMac. It wasn't until later I realized red motherboard was special.
Anyways, here's some pics of the motherboard.
The tag on the board says "P86 EVT APOLLO 1.0GHZ".
EVT is the prototype of course, Apollo is a G4 of some sort and P86 is whatever it is. Some day I'll try and find a specific number.
820-1443-02 is the board P/N. Someone etched 180-A below it.
CPU is a "P86 Sample"
And just for fun, the tag on top of the CRT assembly. This thing isn't FCC tested or approved.
The chassis also has a different serial than the motherboard. I remember this from when I had the drive cover, it didn't match up with System Profiler.
I'll get some more pics of the rest this weekend, it's just too late tonight to do it. Just be ready though, it's not pretty. It's moved between 3 houses, has no case screws (or bottom cover or optical cover - mom threw those out by accident in 2009 when moving).
