Hello, Listas Just spent yesterday upgrading a friends ol' A rev. 233Mhz trayloader iMac with 256Mb Ram and a 120Gb/8Mb/7200rpm fast HD, maxed out the VRam, and OS9.2.2. All went well, and gave new faster life to his ol' iMac. Any other suggestions/ideas for souping up this iMac further will be very much welcomed, and apprecialed. TIA

That's right. It was added in the prototype stage and not taken out until a later revision (C?).I started checking on this unique to me iMac anomaly, and have come across a very few references to a "Mezzanine" slot upgrade path that seems to be a group of various addable cards that will enable this rev. iMac to have various/some other I/O function interfaces.iirc
Try this: http://www.google.com/search?q=imac+mezzanine+slot&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
I recall that somebody figured out a way to use the mezz slot to load in a better video card than the one the iMac came with, but the kit was rare and disappeared quickly. Would probably cost a packet to get these days.
"If you want to encourage your kids to color outside the lines, think
creatively and zig when the other kids zag, get the Mac. On the other
hand, if you want to teach your kid that life is full of frustration and
that anything worth getting takes plenty of patience and hard work,
a Windows machine should do quite nicely."-D. Plotnikoff
Great sig. I'm stealing it for future use. :)

The slippery slope to totalitarianism started in a conference room where coffee and donuts and microsoft power point presentations on torture and pain were on the agenda one morning."
