#Whats the cheapest quicken for the mac install
With a DVD drive and enough RAM you should even be able to install a current Mac OS. It'll take a PC usb mouse and keyboard (beware layout quirks), use a VGA interface monitor up to 1152 res or so, has 10/100 and will take Parallel ATA hard drives (max 128gb IIRC).
#Whats the cheapest quicken for the mac serial
The earlier Beige G3s used RS422/423 serial ports, SCSI and for mouse and keyboard ADB.Ī (1999) Blue G3 is probably the earliest thing you'd consider. The Blue G3's have USB (1.1) and Firewire on the motherboard.
So does your project target system have Altivec? (Or its IBM equivalent?) But if software uses the Altivec units (classic example Photoshop), a G4 smokes a G3. The G4 in general shifts data a bit quicker than a G3 at the same clockspeed. The various different "G4" processors have one or more "Altivec" (or "Velocity Engine") vector processing units that aren't part of the G3 chip. Although many used superficially similar (and wonderfully convenient) cases. G3 and G4 (and G5) refer to processor generations - not to individual machine models. It depends what facilities/interfaces you want/need as to what Mac would make most sense. Used Macs are traditionally useful for longer than used PC's - and so tend to hold their value better.

There are many helpful Linux Usergroups out there - they don't even groan when I ask really elementary questions. I last used the term "cross compile" way back in the 80's, but as I understand it, "professional" versions of Linux includes compilers and all sorts (even assemblers for old gits like me). So the easy thing is to load Linux onto a PC. I'm getting confused with the techno-babble! Ye olde Macs had a peculiar CPU (I believe), Linux is aimed at an Intel type architecture, although Mac targetted versions exist. Wheres the best place to look for a used one? So, whats the big difference between a g3 and g4 ? Im just thinking that rather than go throuhg setting up cross compile on a pc I might look at slapping linux on an old mac. Im looking at doing some development on a linux ppc device (for fun you understand).
