Power Mac G3

#1 Fri, 4 Jul 2008 - 09:51

Conquests have been quiet here lately, but last week I got a PowerMac G3 (Blue and White) @ 350 Mhz, 256 MB memory, 40 GB HD, a matching (Blue and White) 21in Apple monitor, keyboard and mighty mouse all for £10 off ebay.

Everything works.

At the same time I've donated the following to what is hopefully going to be a 'new' computer museum in the UK. http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/

Sun 3/60 + 2 external hard drive boxes + keyboard + cables + tapes.

Sun Netra server - this has been stripped to the bare basics not sure it works.

Archimedes A3010 and A3020

Apple Performa 6400/180 + TV Card + Keyboard and Mouse.

iMac/233 - Rev B Bondi Blue (original iMac) + keyboard + mouse.

Apple Macintosh IIvx + Keyboard and Mouse.

Apple Macintosh IIfx.

and an original Macintosh 128K, unfortunately this has had a load of memory 'grafted' on to the motherboard such that all you get is a sad Mac.

Hopefully they will be fixed up and kept for posterity!

Regards,

Martin

Did you record all the serial numbers? You may see them on eBay.

Hmm... they haven't picked them up yet, that might be a good idea.

However, they all came free to me so I wont be out of pocket.

Oh yes! I don't think the chap knew what he was selling just quoted the spec on the back of the machine.

There was a SCSI and 4 way USB card in the back as well.

I think the mighty mouse generally sells for more than that on its own.
