I've got several "5-color" RevC iMacs hitting EOL with Apple not supporting 
10.4 on them (266 and 300's). Though I've been lurking here for months, I 
don't recall (nor can I find) whether or not ethernet works on these.

If it does, I'd be glad to hang onto one or two of these just for occasional 
testing and abuse. Or if there's a lack of interest in these models, I'll 
just let them fade away...

I may have a Cube or two available soon, too. What's the story with these 
and FreeBSD?
