I have a StarMax 4200 with a G3 upgrade on OS 9.1, and still use it regularly. Solid as a rock after 12 years, and only on its second PRAM battery.
Nowadays it's mostly used to play Virtual Pool (the Celeris one) -- a brilliant simulation that makes the OS X ones look like bad jokes. And it's a good stop-off machine between 68k and OS X Macs. There's actually a Google Group for the StarMax, AND a Yahoo one. Both pretty moribund now, but occasionally someone posts to say they have a StarMax to give away. You could ask for one, rather than wait for an offer. There may be people glad to find a good home for their old machine, but who wouldn't bother to advertise it.
