dedicated os9 mac suggestions? |
|
|
I'm looking for just a cheapo G3 machine or something I can use as a dedicated editor for my micro mod.
Anyone have any suggestions for something (hopefully under $80)?
I looked on ebay, but the clamshell G3s are still selling for $250! |

Clamshell G3? The iBook? I don´t recommend that one anyway. It doesn´t age well and parts are expensive. Go for any inexpensive G4 or G3 Powermac tower thingie.
Even the desktop G3.. the beige boxes.. are just fone for the editor app. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

I've been using my old Performa 6360 as a dedicated editor for my Micromodular and it works just fine......very happy that it's found use in my studio as it was my first Mac. Bought it back in '96 for $1100.00....ouch! Worth now about $15.00! But just fine to run the editor in OS8.6. That's all it's used for now. Can be a little on the slow side but it just serves as an example of what an old computer can be used for! _________________ Apple Mac Pro 3.1 2.88 GHz. Intel Xeon Quad
