So I opened the firmware and had some fun learning
about the 'Forth' programming language. I learned a
couple of commands that revealed the following
information about my iMac:
when I enter 'pwd /' and then '.properties' I get a
list of stuff about the computer, it says its 'version
iMac, 1' which I think means I have an iMac revison 1.
Then when I enter 'dev / cpus' I see some information
telling me that I have a ppc 750@0 l2 cache.
But this is all the info. that I have been able to
get out of Mr. iMac about what kind of cpu he has. Mr.
iMac does not like to discuss his cpu with me, I
guess. Does any of the information that I've given you
give you any clue about whether Mr. iMac has a 603[e]
or a 604[e]?
Sincerely,
john hancock.
