Note: Horst Prillinger adds: "With Mac OS 8.6 installed, Apple System Profiler and other similar diagnostic utilities will mistakenly claim that a Power Macintosh 7300 is a Power Macintosh 7500. This is because OS 8.6 changes the hardware ID # from 109 to 68. Mac Identifier can cure this. It has an option to set a computer's hardware ID to a different value, so you can change 68 back into 109."
