Odd but true - I've found that some older standalone DVD players (the

DVD+R discs.

I think all DVD drives (no matter how old) can read homemade DVD's
written on Verbatim brand DVD-R discs. DVD+R came later, and
readability on older drives seems to vary with brand of disc. From
what I've read, if you have a new-enough drive, it's better to go with
a good brand of +R disc because

I think that means there is no OS, which is not unusual for a used

What happened was that I acquired a bunch of semi-working slot loading
iMacs for about $5 each. They all have Firewire. Since they all power
up showing the blinking "?", I assume the motherboards are good. One
or two have 600 MHz IBM processors. (I pulled one from a machine with

Yeah, the PSU was the thing I was concerned about, which is why I
advised checking that first. So disregard my earlier message unless
you intend to stop at 500Mhz. Your better bet is to go with a new

It should be. I believe the power supply
I wrote the post below in 2006 (it's been edited here for clarity),
and have written a number of posts on this subject. So search this
group's archives using strings such as "G3 iMac motherboard," "G3 iMac
logic board," G3 iMac mobo," or "Jim Scott." The information below is
a good skelet

There were several sets of slot loading G3 iMac's. They all had a 100
MHz bus, and used the same kind of memory. I have some from at least
two different sets. Is it possible to move a motherboard from a later
one into an earlier one?
