2 iMac G3's and 2 eMac's
Posted by: Jon183 on 2017-08-17 01:19:38 Found a listing of 2 iMac G3's and 2 eMac's, no power cables, 1 keyboard and mouse for imac g3 and 1 keyboard and mouse for eMac, 3 of them work, haven't tested the one that is said to not power on. 50AUD for the lot so I bought it.
Posted by: Jon183 on 2017-08-17 08:17:23 All 4 work, both iMacs appear to have a dead hdd, luckily ide to sd card is much cheaper than scsi to sd. Both the eMacs are fully functional. All 4 appear to whine and crts are a bit blurry so I may have to check inside.

The two iMacs are great on the outside, and their CRTs look sharp for the ? that shows up, Ill buy an IDE to SD so I can get one running leopard, the grape one has loud noises coming from the HDD and the bondi blue one has no hdd sound.

Oh yes, they only appear to go up to 10.4 officially, ill put 10.5 on the eMacs and maybe 9.2.2 on the bondi blue iMac and 10.4.11 on the grape. I am glad to have a G3 again, last one was sent to the dump years ago. It was an indigo with a DVD drive and 10.4, it was great for watching movies.
