[SM] SuperMac J-700

[Scott Birdwell]

Well, after tinkering with my J-700 the better part of nine months, it 
is finally up and going (and working very well, I couldn't have done it 
without your help, SuperMackers).  It arrived DOA and after replacing 
the dead HD and learning some of the nuances of the world of SCSI, I 
was able to get it to work fine with the stock 233 mhz 604e processor.  
The upgrade was another issue entirely.  To make a long story short, 
the Sonnet G3 400 upgrade I bought on eBay was defective and the seller 
has long since disappeared.  I replaced this with another G3 400 and 
all is well.  Now I've got this up & going well, I've decided to 
replace it with a S-900.  I like the tower form.  I would like to sell 
the J-700 and thought I would try it here first before going to the 
Swap List.

Here's the configuration:
J-700 G3-400 Sonnet upgrade w/512 L2
IBM 2 gig SCSI HD
192 meg RAM (it came with 88 megs)
Stock Twin Turbo video card
Matsushita CD-ROM (I think it's an 8X, but I'm not sure) SCSI.
I've loaded a fresh install of OS 9.1 and also installed Intech CD-ROM 
Speedtools, so the CD actually works.  The stock ethernet card works, 
so I've updated IE to version 5.1 and installed Macromedia Flash.  
There's some additional utilities I've thrown on as well (SCSI Probe 
5.2, MacBench 5.0, etc.).  I might be able to dig up some other 
software goodies, too, if you're interested.  I would like to get $100 
for this (I've probably got close to double that in it, plus dozens of 
hours of labor.).  BTW it came without a keyboard or mouse, but I did 
manage to scrounge an Apple Extended kb & mouse from a lister and I can 
throw that in for another $10.  Let me know if you're interested, or if 
you think I'm too optimistic in price.  Thanks, again, everyone.
