I landed about 30+ Macs ranging from MacII's, Umaxes, to G3's. Anyways, they were sold without any type of OS in them and I was going to sell them that way. Now the problem is, I don't know the specs for these systems and wanted to know the easiest way to find out what is installed, such as CPU speed, Ram, HD size, video card, add-on cards, so forth. I'm kinda new to the Mac world of this age so I came here to ask. I'm not a business, just someone that likes tinkering with computers. Below is a link to a zip file with numerous pics of these systems, remember, I'm new to the vintage Mac world :rolleyes: . These are not for sale yet! Thanks!

this should help you, covers every mac ever made with detailed specifications....just use the right-hand column to match your macs.
good luck

I Find Mactracker (http://www.mactracker.ca/downloads/) to be invaluable for most of my needs. It runs on OS 8.5 - 10.x as well as on Wintel machines.
The latest version adds Family numbers, exporting features (inc using the notes feature on your iPod) and uses alot of the resources of both of the above.

I found a website that list models and the original specs, and so on. However, a lot of these systems have SCSI controler cards added at a later date, as well as G3 cards, ethernet, modems, video cards, and other various cards. Most of these cards don't even have a company or model number, only a serial number and maybe a QA tag. Without fully installing a OS, is there any way to tell what these are so they can be listed with the system when I sell these? Might be asking to much but it doesn't hurt to ask. I can take pics of the cards in question if someone wants to take a crack at guessing what they are.
