Hi I got a free PPC 8600 tower from work! I want to use it in the basement as a server/music player/legacy device.
It has 360 megs or ram, a 604ev processor (whats dif between 604ev & 604e?), video audio input/output jacks , Zip drive and CD drive.
I have upgraded the OS to 9.1.
Is that as far as I can go?
I want to install a faster ethernet card.
Do they make gigabyte ethernet cards for this machine? Whats the fastest I can get? 10 Based-T is so slooooow
I also would like an ATA controller card, so I can drop a big cheap hard drive and an extra CDR burner I have laying around... any cheap suggestions that work with an 8600?
Firewire and USB would be gravy, but it's a toaster mac and I don't want to spen alot on it...
Thanks in advance if you have any suggestions...
