I've never had one that doesn't spit the disk back out (sometimes it's really sick, and barfs it out onto my floor though) As for a HDD, you'll be needing an IDE drive, you can scavange one out of literally any PC pre-vista, and it'll work. As for memory, any PC that's pre-2002 will usually have what you're looking for, but them iMacs are so dang picky when it comes to RAM that it likes... I went through half my box before I found a pair of 256mb sticks to use (and that's one big box of stuff too) I've had the most trouble with mine having problems forgetting the date, but I just recovered a still good battery from my rusty (literally) trusty PM6100, so all I need is an excuse to open it.
Just out of curiousioty, does it happen to have an AirPort card and adapter? I am starting to contemplate getting one because my current solution isn't working one bit. -Pizzaboy192 (Christian Wacker) -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
