Which brings me to my next question: Can Mac cd-rom drives read discs burned on a PC?
It should. I've tried this several times without a problem.

Alright, the Mac has 96MB of built in memory and 97MB virtual memory. That means I can upgrade the OS right?
Correct. You can upgrade it to 9.0 or 9.1 - 9.2 is NOT supported on that Mac. :no:

Actually, you may be able to run OS X on that Mac with the help of XPostFacto. They have a chart which details which OS X versions can run on certain Mac models. Right now the 6500 is unsupported, but they say they're working on it. ;)

Yes, but it would work extremely slow on that computer (even with the earliest OS X versions). I couldn't even imagine actually USING OS X on such an old machine. :ph34r:

Yeah, its not important that I use the latest or best OS. I don't want to slow the computer to a crawl.

BTW, I was incorrect about the computer's age. it was actually manufactured in 1999, which would make it somewhere around 9 years old.

Question for you guys: how do I get the Mac on the net? I have my LAN cable plugged into it, but it isn't able to connect to any sites. I access the internet through a LAN. Can the Mac be configured to access the net using the same router my PC's use?

No, you were correct before, it was actually made in 1997, and it's not possible for them to be created in 1999 since pre-G3 Macs had been since discontinued at that time. ;)

Go to the TCP/IP control panel, and configure it to use Ethernet, and set it to configure IPs from the DHCP server. Let me know if that works for you. If not, I have something else to try. :yes:
