Yeah. There's a problem with models that use a particular motherboard marketed by several manufacturers, eMachines and HP/Compaq among them where a crappy PSU that was matched to the motherboard goes haywire and surges blowing out the motherboard. I found an HP previously with a bad motherboard so I was going to replace with the eMachines one. Unfortunately, you can't replace the power supply to eliminate the surge problem as it uses unique voltages and the models in question were out of production and out of warranty before the problem became obvious, so no alternate PSU was ever sourced. I got that sorted, but now the hard drive won't boot. Now I have to find a suitable drive that I can format for Linux. I really wanted to use the one that was in there as it was a 7200 RPM drive and all the rest of the ones I have are 5400.
Oh and a little correction to my previous post. I booted up the 9500 and on the Mac OS 8.6 splash screen, the name Radius appeared. That got me happy. I shut down and opened up the 9500 and pulled the video card, and it turns out is a Radius Thunderpower, I'm just not sure which model. I could test it if I had a monitor capable of displaying up to 1920X1600 because the biggest difference between the models is the resolutions they support, but I don't and there is no model number or anything on it that Googles to tell me what it is. Also, the 6100/66 turns out to be a DOS compatible, not an AV. The card that is missing is the DOS card. Those can be hell to find on ebay for a reasonable price, too.
