I will. I was extremely rushed to get to Mexico to bring my Dad his
heart medicines. Just hoping that there was an obvious answer, I didn't
have time to do a tenth of the things I had to do.

Thanks for the help. Will see when I get back. I would like to add
macppc for testing.

Just look up the model number on the case and google it. It is not
hard, and better than us guessing.

PPC iMacs were dead by the time DisplayPort was conceptualized.

If it has a display port, I think it must be amd64. I’m not sure PPC mac had
something else than DVI.

Depends on the age. If it is basically "all screen" and indicates G5
on the back then macppc. If not a G5, then amd64. If it is a crt or
the one that looks like a desk lamp, macppc.

Thanks,

iMac computer. Which architecture. macppc?

[Chris Bennett]

A friend found one outside at an apartment complex.
The display is messed up but it boots cleanly to whatever OS it has.
I didn't care, could see enough on screen to be sure it works.
It's a one piece system.
I assume I just need to get a display port adaptor.
I'm going to bring it here in about a week or two.

Which 5.9 -current should I download?

Thanks,
Chris Bennett
