Well, I picked all this stuff up this morning, and it is an amazing value. For 75$ I got:
PowerMac 7100/400AV (G4 UPGRADE!)
128mb RAM
2gb HD
CD RW
9
Another 7100, with 66mhz 601
56mb RAM
500mb HD
Digidisign Protools II Audio Card
7.6
And......
A QUICKSILVER!
It has no hard drives, and I have not tested it. I know it is an 867mhz Model.
8-o
This is the best find I ever had. I have a G4 Nubus now. Nothing can stop me. 😛

You scored a G4 Nubus upgrade????

well... it looks plausible. they DO exist. Surprisingly they do. That's how many generations of CPUs?
Jeeze... I can only envy you. I don't even have a G4 in this household! Only G3s 🙁

Well done - the NuBus G4 upgrade is definitely the coolest bit, but the QS (if it works) is worth the $75 by itself!
Nice! [8D]

"(G4 UPGRADE!) "
Holy Shiite!

Yeah, I know they exist, it's the actual scoring of one that has me boggled. They make hen's teeth look commonplace.

I had to say yes to that deal. That upgrade is what I wanted.

I remember reading in MacAddict back in 2000 about a G4/360 upgrade. So yeah, they do exist. I think that they only made a 360 Mhz one though, and good luck finding one of those...

I got the quicksilver working.
It came with all the original restore disks, and is maxed out with ram ;D
Holw lucky I was to get all that stuff.
The g4 upgrade is a sonnet g4, and mac os 7 FLIES on it.

You're running OS 7 on a G4 400?!?!? I wonder if there any software compatibility issues?
A side thought: a G4 400 is capable of DVD playback. Imagine playing a DVD under OS 7? Nah. The software doesn't exist.

It is more of a novelty than a useful thing 😛

I've got one of those G4 upgrades, a Sonnet (don't remember the specs; it was a score from right before I left for Europe so I didn't get a chance to play with it). It uses the early Power Mac's PDS, which of course nullifies the AV designation of those models. Of course, along with a good NuBus video card and an 8100/80 (with its 40MHz bus) to install them both into, it wouldn't be too bad of a combo.

I have the rare ribbon cable that allows me to use the PDS slot for AV.

Course, in a 6100 that's not even a problem, as the upgrade card doubles as your right angle PDS adapter.
