Hmmm. I don't think it's a Mac clone. The two that are working are
running Windows NT. Version 3.51 I believe. BTW how the hell do you find
out anything about the system such as the hard drive size using NT??? FWIW
they have 32 Mb of RAM and are using a SCSI-II bus.
HUH? Wow, they're a bit of an oddity then. I know the StarMax 4000/160
and 4000/200's are listed as being MacOS clones. I suppose it's possible
they'll run either, but it is more likely it's at least a change out of the
ROM's. I've never even seen a PPC running NT (did know there was a port,
but wasn't support dropped after 3.51?).

Is anyone
out there familar with the Motorola Power PCs? I spotted
several today. A StarMax 4000/180, several that booted a said Power PC 604
and a Data Server 4000. Can anyone tell me more about these and what kind
OS they run?
This was one of their Macintosh clones, it would be a decent enough system,
and is upgradable to a G3 processor. Not sure how well current/future
versions of MacOS will support it.
