Hello G3 listers, This is my first post on the list. I recognize many names on this list from other lists LEM lists I subscribe to. Perhaps someone can give me advice on my latest dilemma.
I just won (?) a G3 B&W from Epay that was advertised as a Rev 2. It was received yesterday but unfortunately it is a Rev 1. My plan is to transplant my 7500's SCSI LVD/SE HD's to the B&W, upgrade the processor to a G4 and run OS X. I have no current plans for adding a second IDE drive. The question is should I keep it? I got it for a good price and could recoup most it not all my $$ reselling it for a Rev1. I have politely E-mailed the seller about his fraud but do not expect any easy resolution. Are there any other issues aside from data corruption with a second IDE drive installed on the native bus, the slower ATI Rage card that shipped with the Rev 1 and the lack of the dual HD mounting bracket that is found in the Rev 2 that I should know about? This B&W is fine machine I like it a lot but without more upgrades like more RAM, a G4 Processor, and a decent SCSI card it still can't match the "hot rodded" 7500 I am presently using. I don't want to spend any more on upgrades if the Rev 1 board going to bite me down the road. Your input is greatly appreciated.
