Landed a 6400 a couple of weeks ago via eBay and it finally arrived on Saturday. Ok so I thought I'd got a bargain as, for a mere £5, I'd snagged a 200MHz machine with 72Mb of RAM - WRONG!
When the delivery guy dropped it off it was making a horrible 'clunking' noise which didn't sound healthy so off came the case which revealed that a second hard drive (which I didn't know about) had been fitted but not bolted down (ouch - 2 days in the hands of DHL and rattling around all that time). Then came the surprise of seeing a pair of USB sockets on the back. The biggest shock though was seeing the Sonnet Crescendo card plugged into the motherboard. This '200MHz' machine is, in fact, a 400MHz G3 - the thing screams.
As if that wasn't enough, the unbolted hard drive (a 512Mb SCSI) still has life in it...never something to be ignored these days
