Flower Power iMac questions

I just recently got my hands on an old Flower Power iMac that didn't come with memory, keyboard, or mouse. It takes 168-pin DIMM, correct? Also, did that model come with the older hockey puck mouse? Which color? Does anyone know where I can get that original wallpaper that came with it as well? I'm trying to recreate the complete package as authentically as possible.

Thanks.

iMac G4, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes.

This Mac comes with the Apple Pro Mouse.

Does anyone know where I can get that original wallpaper that came with it as well?

The desktop picture which came with that model of iMac is included in the Mac OS 9.21 updater, or on the iMac's original disks. You will initially need to use Mac OS 9 or Classic to extract the file if you don't have the installation disks; once extracted, it can be used as a Mac OS X desktop picture. Using TomeViewer or running the updater is necessary to get at the file, which is named Flower Power. If you have the original disks, locate and open a file named Mac OS CPU Software to get at the picture; this can be done from within Mac OS X.

Dear Shining_Sunbeam

Congratulations on getting your Flower Power iMac!! I'm very proud of mine, as well as its Blue Dalmatian counterpart that I'm keeping as collectors' items. It did indeed come originally with the Black Apple Pro Mouse and Keyboard, and the standard G3 iMac 168pin RAM.

As for the desktop pattern... in case you've not already found one, I've uploaded mine so you can download it to complete your set-up!
