I put this on FB but thought I'd put it here too...
I picked this up the other day at RE-PC in Seattle. Power Mac G3/300 MT, 320MB RAM, 6MB VRAM, 20GB Quantum HD. 2 port USB card. Floppy, CD, Zip drive.
I added a 256MB DIMM (I had only one on hand, so 1 more on the way from eBay.)
Then I transplanted the G3/450 out of my old G3 DT and over-clocked it 1 step, now it's a G3/500:
with the RAM tests turned off it boots 9.1 in about 25-30 second.
after maxing the RAM, the next projects are, in no order:
1) to replace the internal 250MB Zip drive (I never used Zips) with an internal 2GB Jaz drive. I'll have to make a bezel, I think.
2) remove the spinning HD and install an internal BlueSCSI in the bottom bay with the SD slot in the bezel.
3) PCI video card.
4) re-cap.
should be a great bridge machine for getting software on the older macs.
