Dennis, here are a few sites that will help you out with your iMac. It
sounds
to me like you have a 333MHz, 6GB HDD. I have two iMac Blueberries,
one
a 333MHz running OS 9.1 and the other a 350MHz running OS 9.2.2.

This site will help you identify your iMac:

This site will show you how to take it apart:

If you need more info, try Google. There's lotsa help out there.

Hope this helps.
Bill

 Howdy,
   I'll start with the mouse.  It can be upgraded to a LED mouse, but it
 is a pretty fair amount of work.  The easiest route is to find a small
 LED sensor mouse and transplant the guts into the puck mouse.  You will
 need an exacto knife and some putty.  I would not call those special
 tools, but I suppose that depends on what you are used to using.
 Good luck,
 Ralph

If you want an optical (laser) mouse, Dennis, and don't want to tear
apart the old one, keep your eyes open for the apple pro mouse. It's
from about the same era as your mac, so it should match your equipment
just fine. Besides, most people find the old puck mice rather
uncomfortable, anyway.
