Power Macintosh 7200/120
Posted by: coius on 2008-06-14 18:33:06
From Patnukem (local), I got a Power Macintosh 7200/120 w/ 8MB RAM (4 onboard, 4 Stick), CD-ROM, Floppy, and Apple 12" Monitor. It's gonna be fun to play around with. I am just not going to tell you what I traded for it. If he wants to, that's fine. But you guys would probably think I am nuts 😛

He popped into the IRC channel and mentioned he'd traded you. Is this related to that trading post thread you posted a week or so ago? [😉] ]'>

Congrats on the 7200, not the best mac ever, but a workhorse I'm sure.

yeah, it is. I had been talking to Patnukem for a while about it, and finally got around to getting it. As a side note I want to mention, it's actually slower than 120. it seems to have had it's board changed 😛 it's a 75Mhz. it's fine. I wasn't looking for real power with it. Just to do some retro computing.

heck, is the Retro thing still open for submissions? 😉

Yeah, I believe retrochallenge is still open, it's just a matter of sending an email to the right person. (I believe Luddite is managing it this year.)

Best of luck with it. I found a 7200/90 on the side of the road when I was in 6th grade, and it worked all the way up through my Sophomore high school year last year. I think I accidentally zapped the board in the winter. x_x

I loved mine, though. 🙂
