on Jan Schaumann's suggestion:
i just decomissioned an otherwise working powermac 8500/120 that ran
netbsd (1.5.2) for a number of years. the disk went bad, but otherwise the
system works well. i live in ann arbor michigan and am willing to donate
it to anyone working on netbsd/macppc (ie pkg_src builds, compilation, etc
...).
specs:
model: apple powermac 8500
cpu: powerpc 604/120
mem: 72MB (or 64, i forget) SODIMM, 512MB capcity
disk: 0GB (no disks), 50 pin scsi connectors
cdrom, floppy
condition:
good condition, i just needed something with more oomf
and quieter, plus more suited for multiple tasks. like
i said above, the open firmware is configured to boot
netbsd right now, works like a champ.
purchased in early 1996, model is approximately 10 years old
location:
ann arbor
the system isn't worth shipping is my estimation.
free for pickup.
thanks, and thanks for keeping it running for years with netbsd.
