Hi, I'm Dan. I'm brand new to the world of Mac (from years as a PC builder/fixer) and have a nice G3 400 Pismo 2000, 20GB, 576MB, running 9.2.2 and X. I have been having a crash course on the whole Mac world for a week now, for the first time ever, and am liking it so far.
I've been following this wireless thread, but I still have some reading to do before I commit. I must admit I am undecided as to my choice in wireless hardware. Apple hardware seems solid but limited in price range, yet the affordable third-party gear seems to be touchier to get working on Macs. I'm a low-end computing person, and would like to get as good a deal on the wireless gear as I have so far on the box and accessories I've put together. I don't need the fastest bestest gear on the block, but you-all seem to share the same attitude of getting it working and keeping it for as long as possible. I have read so much conflicting data, even at Apple.com, that I can't decide. So where can I get hard technical info on the hardware in this Pismo? Is that a PCMCIA or an Airport slot? Will one or another work better with ClassicStumbler? On and on.. Thanks for looking at my long-winded rambling. I'll tighten it up next time. :) Dan -----Original Message----- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Samantha Goodson Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 8:05 PM To: G-Books Subject: external boot drive for G4 800MHz ibook Can this machine boot from an external firewire drive?
