Still using your old school PowerPC ? - 2008/03/12 23:05 The previous post by MarkTaylor got me wondering who is still using old PIC PowerMacs or clones.

1. What do you have ?

2. What do you use it for ?

My answers:

I have a 6360 with a 250MHz PPC board in it. I haven't used it in a year or so but it's a cool little desktop that has a lot of nice features like A/V and a TV Tuner.

An LC580 all-in-one 275MHz PPC board in it that I painted black to look like a MacTV. It's been sitting in the closet for a couple years now.

And a 7600 that I just got from a friend and I may put some upgrades in it and play with XPostfacto and OS X on it. Right now it has no drive or RAM in it but I have lots of goodies laying around so I'll probably do something with it.

My PTPro still gets used to burn disks and as a scanning station with a big old SCSI Agfa scanner. It has a 400MHz G3, 1GB of RAM and three 18GB 10,000rpm drives. It has a Radeon 32MB video card and an UW SCSI card running the drives. It has an Apple CD-ROM to make it easier to boot OS disks and a couple of Yamaha SCSI CD burners. It's been through about a couple dozen different phases of upgrades and a lot of tinkering. It was my first "Mac" 10 years ago and still runs like a champ.

I also have about a dozen other PowerComputing clones in different stages of disassembly, and a couple are complete working units.

I think that's all I have at the moment, but I've had most of the PPC models Apple made through the years.

Watcha got ?
