What specs are you looking for low end or high end? I have a low end comp that may run the classic, but alas, I am in the US. LMK if I can help.

You must keep in mind that not everyone on the boards is smarter than the average bear Demon-Seed.

By 900 he means mhz!

No offense pcates!  It is a bit hard to understand exactly what he's looking for...
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Hello,

Here is some clarification

RAM: 256 or more
CPU: 900 MHZ or more.
Harddrive: not required but say 40gig or more.
Cdrom would be nice.
CPU chip: no preference.

Price is the big concerc less than $200CAN

I understood the 900 thing, but unfortunately the one I have lying around is, I think, is only a 450 Mhz. I could give it o you for much less than $200, but the shipping to Canada alone could push the limit.
Good luck, Patrick

Also check Liquidation World in the Eaton's Centre in Jackson Square
They have a computer shop in that Liquidation World and they usually sell off lease machine for cheap.  Call ahead to make sure they are still around, as I haven't been down there in awhile.
