If you're ever looking to get rid of the 8600 itself, I can give
it a good home. :-)
I'm willing to give it up. It needs a good cleaning however?some plastic is also
missing from the casing. It's got a G4 upgrade and about 384M RAM iirc. IDE
controller and USB 1.1, too.
Contact me off-list if you're interested. I'm sure we can work something out.
I've seen the B&W chequered screen when my 8600 has booted properly before
interestingly enough.
Nothing wrong with it; it's just the first screen that comes
up (somewhat analogous to the BIOS POST screen on a
PC).
If you
need a mouse, I have a few spares of which I
could send one. I wish I had spare keyboards, but for
some reason, my ADB keyboard collection seems to
have shrunk.
My 8600 kind of in dire straits and it's difficult to get a new OS install on it (due
to a failing drive) and I don't want to put too much more effort in to it right
now...so I could give you my ADB keyboard if you need.
