dan_A mentioned that he had an S900 manual in PDF. Does anyone have a J700 manual? I have a J700 that I just finished upgrading with a Sonnet G4 card and OS X. I'm not really a Mac guy, though OS X is changing that. The Umax has moved from something I fired up once in a while to test the cross-platform operation of Java code to something that I use every day. Getting a reasonably fast OS X machine for less than $350 total can't be beat (I also had to buy some more RAM and a Sonnet IDE hard disk controller.... 2 gigs just isn't enough, and I already had a bunch of spare IDE drives hanging around). I'm also impressed with the easy upgradeability and case design of the Umax, compared to some of the 3D puzzles I've encountered when trying to open "real" Macs in the past. It's a real shame that Umax isn't allowed to sell these anymore.
I'm very pleased with OS X so far, by the way, though actually getting it installed and running was quite an adventure. Those contemplating this jump should be aware that OS X is now shipping with OS 9.2 for use in Classic mode, and 9.2 just won't work (yet... I've heard people are working on it). You'll need to scrape up a copy of 9.1 before you start. The easy integration with my Linux home network is nice, and it also interoperates well (via Samba) with my remaining Windoze machines (I'm getting rid of Windoze as quickly as I can, though I may not be able to get away from it entirely due to my job). I think there was a PDF copy of the manual on the machine when I inherited it, but I had to format the hard drive to install OS X. I didn't worry about it at the time since the last time I looked at the Umax site the manuals were there for download. Now, of course, they're gone.
