I have a slot-loader too. It's loaded with G-Luxon caps. We'll see how long it goes before it starts acting up. It came with OS 9... the first thing I did was to put OSX 10.3 on it. Runs pretty decent, especially considering it's a 333mhz processor with 192 of RAM!

I left OS9 on the drive so I can switch between the OSes. OS X for playing music (its the only computer in my room), OS 9 for messing with the voice thing in SimpleText and playing Spin Doctor, Bugdom, Lode Runner, etc. etc. Check out Macintosh Garden (google it), they've got LOADS of old Mac games and most of them run OK in OS 9.

Although it seems to be down as of this post, Macintosh Garden can be found at http://mac.the-underdogs.info/

Take a look at the pic I snapped to see what I mean:



I assume there's some electronic component that's drifted out of tolerance somewhere inside this thing.

I have seen this kind of issue when the videocard starts to go.
the key thing that indicates that to me is the way the black square has an effect on the picture.
