Hi all together,

I just reanimated my old PowerMac 7200/75 and thought about upgrading it to the fullest. I already bought a used Sonnet Crescendo (G3/400) with 384MB RAM and by now the machine owns a FastSCSI adapter with 4GB HDD (520MB SCSI1 is standard). What I'm now thinking of, is:

  • a faster network adapter (base configuration: 10 MBit onboard)
  • better graphic card (base configuration: proprietary, 1MB VRAM already extended to 4MB)
  • faster and bigger HDD (converter to newer interfaces like S-ATA?)
  • the rght choice of the Mac OS version (probably 9.x because of driver support)
  • any other interfaces like USB/Firewire/etc.

What do you think? Any ideas are appreciated. :)

Cheers,

Blackswan
