I don't know if it was included with OS 7.5.5, but it may be worth starting up Apple System Profiler on it... If it wasn't installed in 7.5.5, chuck it on a floppy and bring it with you. In the 'System Profile' tab, under 'Hardware Overview' it'll tell you the processor type, and the Motherboard Model. (Along with all kinds of other stuff...)
As for the Price Tag, I'd talk them down a LOT before thinking about it if I were you... 8MB Ram, 40 Meg HD, sounds like it is going to have trouble keeping up with even simple tasks without some kind of upgrade... $NZ250 is more than that machine is worth, even if it IS a 5300... My 1400c/133 was under $AU200 with 1.3 GB and 64 MB Ram. -- John On 24/2/03 2:02 PM, "Michael Railton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > They are asking $NZ250 ($US139approx).
