Well, been sorting for a couple of hours. The Macs and the IIc all look to be intact, but I haven't powered them up yet. No good upgrades in any of them. :( The 9500 looks like it had at least 2 PCI cards installed at one time because two of the metal slot covers are missing. The 7600 has a 1.2gig HD and the 6100 and 9500 both have 4gig drives. I'd been looking for larger SCSI drives for a while because all my current beige Powermacs have 500meg drives. The 6100 has 64megs RAM if the stickers on the DIMMS are to be believed and the 7600 and 9500 both have all their memory slots filled, but I don't know what capacity the memory is in those.

I also managed to strip two of the PC's. One was a Gateway 850mhz P3 and the other was a 2.5ghz P4 eMachines. The Gateway had lots of upgrades inside. A sound Blaster Live card, an nVidia 7100, and an ultra 66 hard drive card. I got a 1.5ghz P4 from this load fixed up with most of the upgrade boards from the Gateway for my mom. She is using a 500mhz machine my brother gave her but he put XP on it and it runs really slowly and the CPU gets swamped a lot and freezes. XP is too much for that machine. It needs to go. I have an HP 2.4ghz Celeron here with a blown motherboard that I planned to try to combine with the parts from the 2.5ghz eMachines to make a running machine to install Linux on. Well, back to the slog. I have to do this outside and it is hot out today. Like most of you, I am sure, my work area is overflowing with computer projects and I have no room for a single thing more in there. :(
