Haahaaa that is an old MAC PowerPC like a 6300 or 7300 series (added or G3) so NO the actual computer is not worth much, neither is that inkjet printer below it. The gamma scanner and it's interface card are worth a lot but sorry not the computer it is plugged into.

The software is likely node locked, so have fun updating to new hardware.

If it is node locked by a dongle then hardware could easily be replaced or upgraded. If they node locked the hardware then typically you need only move the HD to same or similar hardware.

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

I didn't see a dongle in the teardown, so it's probably some kind of license manager. They could use the HDD serial, MAC address, ROM specific stuff, who knows? Any Mac fiends want to chime in?

The caster ran the software and it was functional. He would have been able to calibrate and use it if he had a Cesium source.
