Pretty basic stuff that I've been adding over time. The full set up is this: PM 7500 Sonnet G3-400, 1 MB cache 320 MB RAM Keyspan USB 1.1 PCI card Radeon Mac Edition (the original one) Externals: Epson Photo820, LaCie CDRW, Graphire tablet, and Microsoft (gasp!) natural keyboard + optical mouse, all running on the USB bus. Note: except for the tablet, everything works without any extra drivers. It's running OS X 10.2.3, installed via the XPostFacto patch and Rempel's L2 Cache enabler. <http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/> OS 9.1 is installed on a second (small) drive. I rarely use it anymore, since I upgraded Photoshop, etc. Problems: I need a bigger hard drive, since I only have a 5 GB installed. Only leaves me about 1.5 GB free after installs. Even in OS 9 though, I really need a bigger drive. Needs a fair amount of RAM, especially if you use Classic a lot. I had 160 installed when I started this. That wasn't really enough, but 320 seems comfortable. I'd like a bit more, but then, I always say that. The only real problem is the Graphire drivers. They're a little flaky, and I'm still waiting for Wacom to come out with a set that works well. But that's not specific to my machine - I've heard from a few people on the Photoshop list that they're having odd problems.
