Dear Stuart, Thank you for this but it does not seem to have helped me much. If I can find 64mb SIMMs I will try it but my chances of coming across such beasts seems difficult.
I am interested to hear that you got a 6100 for a couple of quid! My 7100 cost me �500 in the early part of 1999 from Second Byte and was my first PowerMac. The Monitor was bought at local auction for �110 and the MacPicasso was �150 or so from, Ithink, Gordon Harwood. The Sonnet G3 was about �175 and I thought they were the Biz. True all the rest only cost me pennies from Ebay etc. but I think that the initial cost has prompted me to consider this machine as my No.1. I am still more impressed with it than my Indigo iMac (bought new and I keep it at the shop where it impresses my customers - although the screen lets it down) and the Beige G3 which is alongside the 7100 in my office and only finds real use as a CD burner. The other relics I keep in good order and use sometimes when I feel nostalgic. The PowerMacs I sell from time to time to help the business. The 7100 runs 9.0.4 very well and you should try it. I can give you a Copy if you want. It will be slower than 7.1 but should be more attractive. If you know of a source of 64Mb 72 pin SIMMs please let me know. Regards Don PS Software is something that I have an abundance of. I don't think there is an application and version I am short of. If you need anything just let me know. > From: Stuart Bell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Mac UK) > Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2003 14:10:37 +0100 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Mac UK) > Subject: Max RAM on 7100?
