If you look closely at the start-up screen, you will
see that it is labled as MacOS, with a progress bar on
it...This is an 8.x + feature.
But if you look at the image of the finder, you will
notice that the scroll bars indicate a pre-9.x OS
It could verywell be a stripped down OS with
capabilities of several different OS's...
Anyone perform a search on Apple's site on this
machine?
