Although some of the 486 or greater single board
computer/passive backplane
thingies could easily run windows. So maybe we need an exemption for
anything that has a design that isn't a classic PC.
Or PC compatibility cards. Got my Power Mac 7300 an OrangePC 620 board.
Runs well, I'm going to stick an AMD on it later.
And if we exclude modern macs, does that exclusion
include the Cube and Mac
Mini? I want both of those machines eventually. What about that goofy mac
that looks like a half-dome with an LCD monitor sticking out? That's
certainly interesting. Was that one intel or did it slip out before the
conversion?
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.
