The Starmax is the Motorola clone of the Mac, they run Mac OS up to 8.5.1,
and can be upgraded to G3. Very nice systems, I have (2). They are worth,
between $250 and $500 depending on details as usual, but due to being
different sometimes go for $25 when people are clueless. Try to get the
purchase paperwork if at all possible, as the warranty is to the first
purchaser only, but then its 5 years. Many units with problems are refurbs
with 90 days (long expired).

If they are cheap enough I would be interested in a couple more just for parts.
