Boots like a charm and has Mac OS 9.2 on it. I've been grinning like an idiot about it all day.
Never used a Mac at all before though, so I'm completely freaking lost as to how to work the damn thing.
Aha! I suspected this from your WTB 512mb PC100/133 memory post!
Not sure the brand keyboard, mouse you bought with it.
Any USB Mouse and or USB Keyboard will work, a Mac compatible keyboard gives you Open Apple Controls, Volume and Eject Disc Keys. You also gain a couple extra USB ports. Its the older 1.1 USB but works fine. Keyboard USB port is great for that Blue Tooth Dongle or iPod connection. The best thing is no Fan Noise! Simple heat convection, only hum is your drive spinning. Plus you have an external connection for that larger monitor, just loses the bootup sound with external speakers.
I'm pounding away on a 500mhz iMac CRT right now. Popped in two 512 cards and the Apple DVD drive. Internals only allow propreitary CD-R or DVD drive but any IDE will fit that is under 127gb. DVD movies play fine, but You Tube Videos are choppy off the Internet.
Anyways what's the mhz on that bondi? Is it a slot or tray loader? Keep the old hard drive in case of errors in the eventuality setting up Firmware and OS9-OSX same partition with optional Dual boot. Even if you don't ever plan on using OS9 again its handy running under OSX for older programs. You can set OS9 not to load unless an older program needs it.
EDIT
After OSX install, I simply copied OS9 back to newer drive using an USB external IDE case for the original OS9 drive.
