Mac guys and gals,
I just picked up a G4 dual 500 MHz "Mystic" Gigabit Ethernet from
eBay, and I have some questions.
These came with a DVD - Ram drive. Will it burn CDs?
How well does it run with Tiger? Any issues?
Will the Zip drive work under Tiger?
Any additional info will be appreciated.
BTW, I already looked at the description on the Low End Mac website.
I bought this to give to a friend as a Christmas gift - the 7300/180
I gave him a couple of years ago kicked the bucket. But I may sell
it. The seller I bought it from didn't realize it was a dual
processor model, so I thought I was bidding on a Sawtooth and paid an
equitable price ($222 + shipping. Included 17" ADC CRT monitor, 512
megs, 40 gig drive, zip drive).
I can upgrade the memory another 256 megs (I'm pretty sure I have
that much extra) and put a second 40 gig hard drive in it (it's
around here somewhere, I'm just not sure where).
I'm wondering if I can get enough for it to buy my friend a Mini
instead, because he's always dragging his computers over to my place
so I can fix them or show him how to do things.
Plus I'd love to see the look on his face when he unwrapped a Mini
after being told, "We just got you a couple of small things this
year..."
