Well, it froze on the OS 9.1 update. Right in the middle. Now the install is trashed, pretty much. It wasn't the hard drive.
I think it's the motherboard at this point. I wonder if a 7200 G3 card will work in a 7500 Mac? I'm thinking of un-stripping the 7500. I originally stole the power supply out of the 7500 after the 7200's died and otherwise stripped the 7500, because I thought the 7200 was going to be a nice little workhorse machine with it's nice new G3 card where I could run old games like Duke Nukem 3D. Nobody ever did try the Crescendo/7200 in a 7500, so it's possible it might work. Otherwise I guess it just gets to sit in the box until it disintegrates.
I don't know how to go about converting the 7200 motherboard into a fine powder that I can snort. I need one of those really expensive blenders that they used to blend up an iPhone. I would have to cut the motherboard into strips or something to fit it into the blender but I could make it work.
At this point I'm going to try and get a few hours sleep and then tomorrow move everything over to the 7500 and try again. I don't know about 7200s in general but mine absolutely blows ass and it's a shame.
