My 8500 has rust all over the metal case parts but it runs fine, after
I took it apart and put it back together a few times...
Rescued from heading for the dump a year or so back, and restored it.
For a while I had to boot it twice, it would half start and then I hit
the power key again and it would finish the second time.
I didn't start my Beige G3 for a year and it appeared the PCI video
card died, too bad I liked that card. Now I just tried to set the
clock back for the summer and somehow I removed a bunch of jumpers
accidentally, and one seems to be stuck under the motherboard ...
Pulled the drive finally.
