I thought this was a hack! *napoleon dynamite voice* LUCKY!

That is awesome! First I have ever seen anything like that (g3 wise anyways).

Looks VERY cool! :b&w:

There are two updates to 8.5: 8.5.1 and 8.6. After 8.6, there were no more updates to the Mac OS until Mac OS 9.

The 8500 Shipped with OS 7.5.x. I don't recoomend 7.5.2 but anything 7.5.5 or later (7.6.1 and 8.1 are perfect for a stock 8500) will do nicely. On G3 equipped 8500 I go for OS 9.1…

The DB25 connector on the old Macs IS NOT a serial port! It is a SCSI port, and connecting a non-SCSI cable/device could potentially damage the system. The 8-pin round ports are th…
