When I received the Mac I couldn't believe what I saw! The back bezel was broken at several places, and the motherboard with the backside connectors where completely rousty. This Baby was surely laying in a dirty wet cave for a long time. Of course the guy from eBay took only photos of the exterieur an the Front Panel. The CD Cover on the front was loose because of a brocken plastic thing.
Otherwise the specs of this Mac are as follow:
PowerMac 6100
- Introduced on March 1997
- Mac OS 7.1.2
- PowerPC 601 / 60MHz (first Mac with Motorola PowerPC processor)
- Storage 160MB HardDrive (SCSI)
- Apple 600i 2x CD ROM
- Memory 8MB on Board antother 2x8MB 72pin SIMMS (total of 24MB)
Connectors:
- 1 ADB
- 1 HDI-45 (Display Connector)
- 1 Geoport Modem Port
- 1 Apple Serial Printer Port
- 1 Ethernet (AUII)
- 1 SCSI Port
- 1 Audio In an Audio Out Jack
So here are some of the first Photos of the Mac:
The inside with the HD, CD-ROM and Floppy removed;
At teh Right you can see the rosty back side connectors;
Inside look after replacing the Hard Disk and with the CD and Floppy drive installed;
Front view with the case mounted (I sprayed the case in white);
Back view with all the connectors and the new Bezel;
This is the refurbished PowerMac 6100 with an Apple Extend Keyboard II connected
Just couldn't resist to try Space Quest 6 on it; (works great!)
In my next Blog I will go into depth with the installation of the System as well as the special HDI-45 connector and all the Upgrades I installed.
