iMac Flower Power / OneScanner

[Tmargo101]

Just poking around the back of the local computer store today, lots of stuff, mostly printers. Found:

iMac FlowerPower - Man, is this thing UGLY! Mainly took it because I could never leave it :lol: and for any software on the HD

Apple Color OneScanner - Dirty, but powers up. No cosmetic damage.

And some random PC Stuff

Nice finds for a day.

Pics coming soon!

Flower Power! Nice! Rather rare.

Flower Power iMac....nice. Even though yes, they are ugly, they have become rather sought after, due to their rarity, and can go for a couple of hundred dollars on eBay.

Well, you now know why they didn't sell!

Out of interest, did the FP/Dalmation iMacs come with the white mouse + white keyboard, or a variant of the original iMac puck/coloured keyboard?

 

[LCGuy]

They came with the black Apple Pro Mouse and Apple Pro Keyboard - the white peripherals didn't come out until the iMac G4.

Yeah, the iMac came with a black keyboard, but no muse. I had spares, though

Booted the iMac yesterday, had a mostly clean install of OS X 10.3. I was hoping for 10.2 or earlier, but still good that I don't have to reload it! Just wipe personal files... Like 5 of those... Seriously, do people even use these things? One time I found a core duo iMac with tiger, when I booted it, it booted to the welcome screen and new user setup! 8-o

To be more specific, should they have the black Pro keyboard and mouse with the braided cables or the white cables? I think they were white like the Snow, right?

600 or 1200 scanner? I have a 1200, just gave away a 600. Great thing about scanners is that they don't seem to have progressed very far in 20 years. They're faster, sure, the but the results for scanning anything less than 600 dpi is no different on a Color OneScanner or a brand new USB scanner. At least, not that I've noticed.

I don't know, on it it just says "Color OneScanner." :-/ I will check when i get home tonight.

My guess is that that would be the original Apple Colour OneScanner. There was the Apple OneScanner (greyscale), the Apple Colour OneScanner, and then the few that followed with individual model numbers.

Should be more than adequate. Unless you need microscopic or super hi-res, 300 dpi should be enough.
