    A quick copy and paste of a couple of adverts I've placed elsewhere just in case anyone here is interested.


    I have for sale this complete boxed Mac with MorphOS (unregistered) and Mac OS X setup in a dual boot configuration. In the box as well as the main Mac mini you will find the PSU, DVI-VGA adapter and the original Mac OS X discs.

    Specs as follows:

    Mac mini G4 1.42Ghz
    512MB RAM
    Radeon 9200 32MB VRAM
    80GB HDD
    Airport (Wi-fi/Bluetooth)
    56k Modem
    DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo Drive

    A MorphOS CD will be included.
    The inside as well as the outside of each machine has been cleaned.

    I'm asking ?175 plus shipping costs (which should be quite low).

    Please feel free to ask any questions

    --------

    I also have for sale two Macs set up with MorphOS (unregistered) and Mac OS X setup in a dual boot configuration. They are unboxed and don't have "Airport" (this is unsupported by MorphOS anyway). However they do of course have built in ethernet and come with an original Apple PSU. Other specs are as follows:

    1) Mac mini G4 1.33Ghz *SOLD*
    512MB RAM
    Radeon 9200 32MB VRAM
    40GB HDD
    DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo Drive

    2) Mac mini G4 1.25Ghz
    512MB RAM
    Radeon 9200 32MB VRAM
    40GB HDD
    DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo Drive

    Both machines have 56k Modems (No MorphOS drivers for this however)
    Both have past all Apple hardware tests.
    There aren't any original OS X discs included with either machine as much to my annoyance they weren't included when I bought them. But if re-install discs are required I should be able to work something out. A MorphOS CD will be included.
    The inside as well as the outside of each machine has been cleaned.

    I'm asking ?125 each plus shipping costs (which should be quite low).

    The price is the same for both as the one with the slightly higher spec has some scratches on the sides.

    Please feel free to ask any questions.

    Is it legal then to sell these machines with installed OS X?

    @Andreas_Wolf

    I would have thought it's ok seeing as these machines originally came with OS X and therefore a license to use. If you bought a brand new Mac and then lost the discs that came with it, it wouldn't invalidate your right to use the OS X install on your machine. BTW I've only installed the version which would have come with the machines in the first place not Leopard for example.
    However I'll happily remove the advert if the mods believe i'm breaking the law.

    Did someone say legal?

    :-)

    @Ruud

    Not sure but I suppose it is possible that OSX CD copy is required to use OSX (I mean in legal sense). Just easy to be checked, perhaps this doesn't hold.

    Also keep in mind that registration might be for other user, so one should re-install it and re-register to him/herself if the license is for usage by particular person (most likely so). Then there comes the CD shortage problem...

    I could have taken it out like I did with my main mac mini I use ;-)
    (The airport card was faulty and stopped the machine from booting).

    Optical drive is a standard combi unit. HDD is 80GB & RAM is 512MB. Airport is present and correct, no 56k modem though.
