Digital BW, The Print

Hi Bill,

A Beige with 256mb ram and a 266 processor, a scrawney hard drive , key
board, mouse is $119.00 I have a number of hard drives I can put in so that
is of no consequence if the bios can recognize IDE 30gb drives and larger. I
really don't want to go SCSI if it can be avoided. I do have a PCI IDE 133
interface card (for a pc) that might provide a solution. My major question
is whether this machine will be able to print something in less than a week
:-))

Comes with OS 8.6 and is supposedly upgradable to OS X.

  Hi Roger

  What are you paying for these?

  I'm not sure, but the beige may be more difficult to use w/ OSX?  You
might
  want to enquire on the OSX lists @
