I just purchased a 500 Mhz iMac from a auction site. I know this is probably the wrong list to post to, but I have never dealt with an iMac, so I haven't subscribed to their list. I am hoping someone here has some experience with them and is willing to enlighten me. The computer came with everything but a hard drive and is said to work. I have a new Western Digital 40 GB IDE HD that I put in it. When I installed it, I noticed the slot loading CD Drive didn't have a power cable and it looked like a 50 pin SCSI cable plugged in to it. The next plug on the cable that attaches to the HD is IDE. I have tried setting the jumpers on the HD to Master Single, Master w/Slave, Slave, and Cable Select. I inserted a bootable OS 9 cd into it and started up with the "C" key held down. I can't seem to get it to boot though. Is there a secret to getting one of these things to work? Thanks-- Kevin
