Thanks, Mark.
EMachines (owned by Gateway last time I checked) makes good machines in
cheap boxes with minimal power supply... and they have a website where we
can still download the drivers for this machine... I just cannot get the
RESTORE disc. Every EMachine I have ever owned (4 now) is still running,
the oldest since 1998, and it's only problems are provided by the holes in
Microsoft operating systems that are exploited by hackers, all fixable with
the restore disc. I also own Toshiba's, Dell's, Gateway's, Hewlett Packard,
and Compaq.
Each EMachine has a brand name motherboard and stable device drivers...
but I cannot say the same for my newest Dell Core i7 machine... it has an
unbranded (made in China) motherboard, and it's features are not well
documented. Not even tech support can answer specific questions about the
eSATA port correctly. It gets I/O bound more that I think a super-mini
computer should.
I have successfully removed the eMachines infections using another
computer, so the purchase of an opsys is staved off for now. I will keep my
ears open for someone with a working W3107 that can burn a restore set for
me.

And Brian, don't let the MS vs. Apple talk get you down. I would have to
go to eBay for Jaguar disks for my G4 Titanium PowerBook, too.
