Wonder could I:
1:Put OS X(Tiger) on it? 2:Put ANYthing OS X on it to get it past OS 9.1? 3:Maybe turn it into a sequencer or something? It's got: 233Mh PC 750 processor 288Mb RAM About 4Gb disk space. CD-ROM (Not DVD) "Wall Street" It's a clean, well-operating system that cost $67. Can it do anything but read and write text and photos? |

Given OS X's availability (i.e., you'll need to find a used copy of Mac OS X previous to 10.3 somewhere), I'd recommend a RAM upgrade (max is 512MB), an HDD upgrade (you can get good 2.5" IDE drives at reasonable prices) and a processor upgrade (check out XLR8YourMac for info on various upgrades and their reliability).
With those in mind you should be able to run 10.3 or greater with decent performance to use as a sequencer or additional workstation. Good luck! deacon -------------------- |
