As for RAM, check out ramseeker.com. LowEndMac.com should also have some information on RAM purchasing and whatnot, especially information on the kind of hard drive you can use on the 7100.

Thanks for the help. The RAM I found from that link was a lot cheaper than the other places I've seen. The only problem with it is that all the RAM I can find that says it compatible with the Performa is 60ns RAM. Apple's specifications say that it requires 70ns RAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/SP373 |

If I'm not mistaken, it should still work. I've used faster RAM than specced on my Quadra and it's still worked. No lock ups or anything. Think of it as using PC-133 RAM on a system that originally used PC-100. It would still work due to the backwards compatibility of the RAM design.

Oh, I didn't think of that. I was thinking that 60ns RAM was slower than 70ns RAM. Sorry  |

I wish I had heard about MacHTTP a long time ago before I tossed all my classic computers, I waited till I got a hold of Mac OS X server before I set up a web server.

Help! I can't find a place to buy for $15 or less a SCSI drive that will fit in the Power Mac 7100/80AV. Everywhere I look, they cost at lest $50. I just want a small one like the one that came in it.

Most of the older Macs use 50-pin SCSI, some might use 68-pin SCSI. Though it's hard nowadays to find decent-sized 50-pin SCSI hard drives, you can purchase an adapter that will convert some from either 68-pins or 80-pins to 50-pins. I have a 68-pin to 50-pin SCSI adapter so that I can use a 68-pin SCSI hard drive on my Quadra 650 which has a SCSI bus that uses 50-pins. The following link from the site that VT linked to also has them, but I'm sure that you can find them elsewhere as well: http://www.mcpb.com/html/scsi201.html
