I'd like to know if this is possible too. I've got an external > for my Beige, though now I rarely use it since I have broadband, and a > friend is junking a Lime G3 iMac. The cards are very different, the beige G3 uses a Comm Slot II modem (also found in the 6400 and 6500) the slot loading and tray loading g3 iMacs use smaller modem cards, with different connectors. Here are some eBay auctions with pictures if you want to see what the cards look like and compare: Slot load iMac: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5 749394559 Tray load iMac: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5 162214368 Beige G3: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5 746904579 I only see two completed auctions for Beige g3 modems, one sold for $39.99 and one sold for $46.25. BUT, I see a beige G3 audio card with the modem attached that sold for $31, and a beige g3 motherboard with RAM, sound card, and modem that sold for $19.38. So it looks like you might get a better deal buying a modem that's still attached to some of the rest of the computer. You could even get some of your money back by re-selling what you didn't need. One other interesting note - my beige G3 had a modem in it when I bought it, and a plastic cover over the "modem" serial port so that you couldn't use it. My 6400 was the same way. So if you are looking for a internal modem so that you can use the serial port for something else, it probably won't work. Good luck! -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
