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?
The Starmax is the Motorola clone of the Mac, they run Mac OS up to 8.5.1,
and can be upgraded to G3. Very nice systems, I have (2). They are worth,
between $250 and $500 depending on details as usual, but due to being
different sometimes go for $25 when people are clueless. Try to get the
purchase paperwork if at all possible, as the warranty is to the first
purchaser only, but then its 5 years. Many units with problems are refurbs
with 90 days (long expired).
If they are cheap enough I would be interested in a couple more just for parts.
