Huge Lot

[Mac68000]

Well, I picked all this stuff up this morning, and it is an amazing value. For 75$ I got:

PowerMac 7100/400AV (G4 UPGRADE!)

128mb RAM

2gb HD

CD RW

9

Another 7100, with 66mhz 601

56mb RAM

500mb HD

Digidisign Protools II Audio Card

7.6

And......

A QUICKSILVER!

It has no hard drives, and I have not tested it. I know it is an 867mhz Model.

8-o

This is the best find I ever had. I have a G4 Nubus now. Nothing can stop me.

 

[LCGuy]

Very nice! :O

 

[bsod]

Indeed .

 

[Bunsen]

You scored a G4 Nubus upgrade????

 

[coius]

well... it looks plausible. they DO exist. Surprisingly they do. That's how many generations of CPUs?

Jeeze... I can only envy you. I don't even have a G4 in this household! Only G3s

 

[tmtomh]

Well done - the NuBus G4 upgrade is definitely the coolest bit, but the QS (if it works) is worth the $75 by itself!

Nice! [8D]

"(G4 UPGRADE!) "

Holy Shiite!

 

[Bunsen]

Yeah, I know they exist, it's the actual scoring of one that has me boggled. They make hen's teeth look commonplace.

 

[Mac68000]

I had to say yes to that deal. That upgrade is what I wanted.

 

[LCGuy]

I remember reading in MacAddict back in 2000 about a G4/360 upgrade. So yeah, they do exist. I think that they only made a 360 Mhz one though, and good luck finding one of those...

 

[Mac68000]

I got the quicksilver working.

It came with all the original restore disks, and is maxed out with ram ;D

Holw lucky I was to get all that stuff.

The g4 upgrade is a sonnet g4, and mac os 7 FLIES on it.

 

[dbraverman88]

You're running OS 7 on a G4 400?!?!? I wonder if there any software compatibility issues?

A side thought: a G4 400 is capable of DVD playback. Imagine playing a DVD under OS 7? Nah. The software doesn't exist.

It is more of a novelty than a useful thing

 

[Franklinstein]

I've got one of those G4 upgrades, a Sonnet (don't remember the specs; it was a score from right before I left for Europe so I didn't get a chance to play with it). It uses the early Power Mac's PDS, which of course nullifies the AV designation of those models. Of course, along with a good NuBus video card and an 8100/80 (with its 40MHz bus) to install them both into, it wouldn't be too bad of a combo.

 

[Mac68000]

I have the rare ribbon cable that allows me to use the PDS slot for AV.

 

[Bunsen]

Course, in a 6100 that's not even a problem, as the upgrade card doubles as your right angle PDS adapter.
