Runs well, I'm going to stick an AMD on it later.
I agree. I'm fascinated by hardware emulation upgrades. I just bought a
286 board for my amiga should should be here shortly. I'd love to put
something similar in the IIfx or quadra 700. There's also a fairly common
mac emulation board for the amiga. It would be fun to have both a mac and
dos window open on the amiga desktop at the same time. :-)
I think the Power Macs are going to rapidly become
on-topic, even the last
G5s, simply because the architecture is now increasingly less and less
visible (despite still being a common component of embedded systems and
consoles, and servers, of course).
The "half-dome" iMac was a G4.
I've more or less decided to get a G3 or G4 as soon as I can spot a
reasonably priced example. The sweet spot for me is somewhere around $50
which is when people seem to start throwing them out.
