I don't think a Quadra 950 can run BeOS.
This isn't merely pre-G3. This is pre-PowerPC. And by quite a bit. This is 1991 style.
Got a tip for us?

Even 'Pre-Jeff Goldblum narrated Apple Commercial' days. So long ago that I actually still argued with PC users about OS-es (back then I still thought IBM was the bad guy). Nowadays I'm way too mature for that sort of thing
(and you're right you need a PPC to run BeOS)
Isn't it 1992 style
Apple-history.com lists the Quadra 900 as 1991 and the 950 as 1992. Anyways I remember drooling over this but I always dreamed of owning the Quadra 840AV with its 40Mhz 040 and 66Mhz DSP.All I had saved up enough for though was the IIvx I was only 13 then so $2000 was my limit. Took me 2 years of saving every penny I made.
Ah yes 68030 33Mhz, 5MB RAM, 80MB HD, 512KB VRAM, 2x CD, 2400baud modem, 14in CRT, Stylewriter, Extended Keyboard, ADB Mouse II, 1.4MB Superdrive and System 7.1.
Oh how I wish Apple would return to the Mac II and Quadra cases and return "Mac OS" to the rightful "System".
Anyways to pay that much that Quadra had better not have any yellowing.
I think that's eBay's way of keeping the bidding history private - we weren't the seller so we have no right to see that information.
I have just sold a 512K on ebay.co.uk for £305. There are silly people on ebay with more money than sence. You have to love em!
hah....
Someone is giving me a lot of Macs!!! A IIci, a Quadra 950, a 512K, a plus, an SE, and a PM8100! Yay!!! I shall post pics this evening when I get them.
