1.25mHz dual core MDD.
Normally a fairly capable machine.
This weekend I put in it an OLD 30GB hard drive loaded with OS 10.5 Leopard.
Took 2 minutes 30 seconds to boot.
I attempted to launch TenFourFox.
The Lil Fox bounced 62 times before it launched.
Amazing, in a bad way.
Spent lunch time today on eBay looking for a cheap but faster HD.
62 Bounces. Wow.
My blue G3 iMac was a few feet away snickering at the mighty MDD.

i would say that the 30gb drive is peached .. and needs to take a dirt nap;) lol

i recently purchased a few pci sata controllers that support booting in os9 + osx.
they cost me as little as 20$ each. i had paid 80$ previously for a sonnet tempo card
i have seen seritek firmtek 1s2 cards go as cheap as 20$ on ebay tho
if u get one of these cards, u can connect any modern drive you'd like.

these should also support a bootable cd/dvd drive
if u want more information on this just let me know and ill share in more detail
but this is the best way that i know of to get maximum disk speed..
for example to combine one of these cards with a cheap 40$ 64gb SSD would be an ideal
solution for price vs performance in my opinion
