Recently I was handed an iMac that needed a home. It took me a while to find a power cord, but it started on the first try. It seems to have gone unused since '06. But even with a dirty face it was too cute tor the lady to throw out and the little guy/gal (?) runs pretty snappy for 350 MHz. I guess you call it a blueberry. Sort of a Bondi blue back with a pearly striped front. slot load of course. ( I just found out it is a Blueberry as I stuck in a DVD which it wont spit out! I could have looked at ASP, but it had DVD player on the Apple menu!)) It is running 9.2 and I find no OS X volume. Me ? I have been on the PCI list since '99 and the G list since about '05. I'm also on several other LEM lists. I am semi retired but interested in video and web media production and the applications that support those efforts. I also speak some PC but come from an Amiga background so I hold some strong opinions there. Anyway I'll be looking to the swap list to max out this little tyke's memory lobe. Maybe a bigger internal drive too. If anyone can tell me how to coax it to spit up the DVD for a test with a CD I would appreciate it. It keeps cycling so there is never an icon and the other methods don't work. I find no eject pinhole either. What do I do, tickle it under the chin ?
lol, i just answerd this question yesterday i think. what you need to do is get two credit cards and use them as 'tongs' to pull the disc out. also, try holding teh mouse button durning boot.
