I was at the junkyard on a mission to acquire a P4 system when out of the corner of my eye, stacked up high above piles of obsolete lab equipment...
A wild 7100/80 appeared!
Go Screwdriver!
Screwdriver dismantled the wild 7100/80 and found no missing parts!
The wild 7100/80 sits motionlessly!
Screwdriver, come back!
Go, Power Cord!
Power Cord used Mains Power!
The wild 7100/80 chimes!
The wild 7100/80 boots up Mac OS 8!
Power Cord, unplug!
Go, Wallet!
Wallet used Money Attack!
Wallet lost $16 in banknotes!
Congratulations! The wild 7100/80 was caught!
PPC 601 80MHz
Video card with full VRAM slots
48MB RAM - 2x16MB, 2x4MB, 8MB built-in
4GB IBM SCSI HDD - definitely an upgrade, says OCT-98 on label
Dead PRAM battery - original for the machine, says 4/95 on case, hasn't defecated its contents on the logicboard, removed pronto!
The usual missing rubber feet - 1 of them
It is complete and in working condition but is totally filthy and rusty inside. It was the console for a (probably SCSI) DNA analyzer/sequencer in its past life, but god knows what has happened since its decommissioning... I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
