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.
