Yup, thats PPC, Id really love to have a PPC, but that would not help the
debian/m68k project, would it? Also they would be twice as expensive as the
Quadras...

I just looked on ebay, ie Quadra 950, lots of RAM, large SCSI disk for $140,
so it seems the offer I got is a little expensive...
Ok, SCSI is not supported, neither ADB (does it have an IDE controller
then?) but then I could do some hacking agin :-)
Now who offered to buy as some macs?
