Nope, just a plain audio out and mic input. > By the way...what does your G3 system consist of? > Is it a 233, 266, 300 DT or MT with 300+Mhz? Hd space, > memory?

I have the machine here now and it seems to work pretty well so far. After using the PM 7200 for some time, this one is much faster which I like a lot. If there is anyone on the list using YDL, I am curious to know how well it runs on a machine like this. I had it on my 7200 and it was very slow there. I use Linux as my main OS on most of my PC's and always toyed with the idea of running a version on my Macs as well. Let me also say I've enjoyed reading all of the posts to this list and am glad I finally have the ability to post (thanks to the listmom for fixing that) and look forward to reading more and discussing all things Mac!
