I have B&W G3, rev1, , it seems that the motherboard is good because when turned on the light come on on the motherboard and it chimes. It has a SCSI board installed on it, ATA/133 PCI card installed, and ati graphics card. There are 4 memory cards installed. Problem: HDs. I have a few HDs laying around the house that I would like to see if they work, they worked on the G3 at one time. I have transported the G3 across country and now am trying to figure out if I can use this machine while I save up for a G5 destop and take some of the pressure and time off my Macbook for video stuff. I want to know if it is worth my time and pocket to try to get the G3 working for a little bit of cash. I purchased a $6 usb keyboard online and am using a emachine monitor. I have tried hooking up the HDs to the PCI card and then booted but nothing, while the HDs light up, I get nothing on the monitor.PLs help, I have put OS9 in the CD tray and when installing pressed "C"l to try and boot up to the CD but so far nothing. PLS help. is there any way to try to see if the drives will work. I do have external drives that I use with my laptop, one is a usb and the orther is a FW HD. both of these drives work with the laptop. But I have not tried to see if they work with the G3. Lost at home. :(
