Thanks for your replies. I opened the little guy up and all 8 ram slots are currently occupied. with that in mind, I found a cheap copy of System 7 on ebay (still working on getting a floppy drive to use on my new imac). For around $40, I managed to find a hard drive, hard drive caddy, cables, a mouse, The OS, and an ADB keyboard cable. Robert, after I get everything installed and I know its working, I'd love to talk to you about getting my hands on that copy of claris works!
