    Could someone send me a picture of the G3 beige model ?

    Thanks for the support!

    Since original discussion evolved around the G3 beige model, I would
    prefer if the community found a cheap G3 beige model to work on for me.

    Also, the G3 beige tower takes less space as compared to the iMac.

    Would that be ok?

    Adrian

    There are four different models of G3 "Beige." They are: Desktop, Mini
    Tower, Server (also Mini Tower shaped) and finally All-in-One.

    I was thinking an imac was an awfully large beast when I saw the picture
    in the link yesterday. CRTs are a pain. :)

    Would a 9600 "last model" be of interest? It is not a G3 but a ppc 604e
    - a peculiar CPU faster than the 604? It is also one of the newer the
    "old world" machines. The CPU can be upgraded, on slot, dual, G3 and G4
    were available (but different than the old 9500/9600 which had on-board
    cache.

    I absolutely don't know how linux support is. I used to run NetBSD on
    it.. then stopped because I can just take a certain number of machines
    in my Lab and so it is on storage.

    Good news. The donations are up to €100.00. (Thanks KS).

    Could you let us know if that is enough, or do you need more?

    Adrian,

    When you will have free time, could you say me if one of the model I
    proposed to buy is good or if I must look for another ?

    Apologies for the late reply. I'm currently on vacation and actually less often at the computer than I previously expected.

    I'll check eBay what machines I can find and then I'll pick one. I can also check
    the French auction site you linked earlier, although I don't have any experience
    with this site and no idea whether they will ship to Germany.

    Thanks a lot for everyone chiming in for this effort. Very much appreciated.

    Adrian

    With leboncoin.fr, you can ship until 30 kg by
    https://www.mondialrelay.fr from https://www.ottogroup.com

    Sometimes, it costs only 0,99 €.

    We are not in a hurry, take your time during holidays.

    If donations are bigger than necessary, I will refund the remaining
    amount to donators or I will give it to you, donators will choose.

    I made some research now and already found this PowerBook G3 on eBay Germany:

    https://www.ebay.de/itm/284210782795

    I have bid on this machine now.

    And I would buy this desktop G3:

    https://www.ebay.de/itm/184696111025

    If there is money left, we could also buy this iBook Clamshell:

    https://www.ebay.de/itm/324498598746

    I think the easiest option would be if you sent me the donation directly via PayPal,

    I transfered the donations amount (120 €) to [email protected]

    If you want to make other donation, donate via Paypal at [email protected]

    Thank you very much. I will search and pick a G3 Mac the next days. I'll also check
    the local second-hand markets and report back.

    Currently, I have not purchased any machine but I'm bidding on the G3 Wallstreet model.

    Thanks a lot. 140 Euros is more than enough to buy some hardware, so
    you don't have to bother about donating more.

    Thanks to everyone who donated.
