M6498
I suspect it may have been opened up before, an upgrade prior to delivery to the original owner? As it has 512 Megs of RAM, 256/256. Course I want to take it to the maximum 1 Gig.
Going bigger and better on the hard drive and DVD drive will be where I run into problems. I can live with it if I have to, just burns of anything will take forever.
I managed to get the thing to boot into OS 9 (copying the system folder from my G4 tower), and everything seems to work as it should, but I don't think the video hardware is being correctly supported, it defaults to the maximum resolution (1440x900) but only at 8-bit. This I can't live with, and support through Apple or anywhere seems to be lacking.
It really would have helped if I'd gotten the original install CDs.
