    I'm cleaning my place and I dscovered two old computers I used to use.

    Both have been upgraded at least with a larger harddrive.
    A PowerPC 6100
    And a PowerPC 8500.
    2 keyboards, only one monitor, and 3 removeable drives.
    And the Microtek scanmaker IIXE. (large, flatbed type.)

    Anyone have any info, or
    ...

    Anyone want them?

    Both of them are probably too old to do anything realistically cool with.

    However, I am a whore for old computers. What version of MacOS are they running? If you figure out how much, if anything, you want for them and, more importantly, how much it'll cost to ship, I might be interested.

    The scanner is probably SCSI, no?

    Yes! Yes, the whole bunch is!

    And, let me plug it all in and see if it still works.
    It's been nearly 5 years.
