Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Performa 6214 was the equivelant
of a PowerMac 6100/60... As I remember it was in no way related to the
5200/6200 series.

 Can't get on the net unless you grease and beat it.
 Doesn't do more than 256 colors, 64MB limit, and it's
 slooow if it's doing anything but going out a
 window.

 William

 I've got an old 6200 and they are slow.  I put 48mb of ram in it and it
 helped alittle but not much.  External 56k modem didn't help much 
 either.
 Been thinking about using it for a continious running slide show.  The 
 kids
 still use it for some of the Sim games.
 Craig

As slow as they are, and as painful to deal with when used to other 
macs, the first mac I used regularly was my sister's 6300 - I put 32Mb 
extra in it for 48Mb, and it's 1Gb  drive was enough at the time. My 
sister worked as a graphic designer at the time and had photoshop, 
illustrator and xPress on it - as a transition from old-style computer 
user to a mac addict, it worked for me! The machine is having software 
problems at the moment with crashes galore on my niece (who uses it now) 
and will be coming back to me for a fixing - I'm sure I'll notice the 
speed problems in time, but it certainly worked - even if nowhere near 
the potential of it's components!

Be well :D

Or donate to a not for profit organization and take a tax write off.
However, if you can get the RAM really cheaply then go for it and make it
into a server (FTP perhaps) or a print spooler or a firewall.
Of course were a friend to offer me one I'd take it to add to my collection.

 Is the max RAM for a Performa 6214CD (such a well-known model, I know...)
 64MB, orcan it take 128MB? Thought with the cost of 64MB 70-pin SIMMs, I
 suppose it would hardly be worth it...

It is not worth it. Throw into street now, or give it to your worst
enemy as a truce present. Horrid, horrid machines. We have several sitting
in the bunker here (the old computer graveyard) and no one liked them
when they were new, much less now. They do break down nicely, though, like
in trash compactors and steam presses. Good stress relievers.

As someone who gives a lot of Mac gear and numerous
desktops to non-profits I can tell you two things:

1) You can quote a fair-market price for the item. So
you can use a quote from say Shreves Systems or other
vendor that sets its prices based on arcane, obscure
and unreasonable economic variables; and,

2) Unless you are already itemizing every conceivable
expense, the US tax code makes it ridiculous to take
penny-ante deductions. You end up losing money unless
you're giving away $5,000+ in donations. 

Trust me on this one.I give away a lot of stuff and I
got a friend who's a tax specialist for HR Block and
I'm not taking any deductions for the stuff.

But do it anyway if they can use it.
