Hi all, There is a good usb option. The netgear wg111v2 works well in 10.3 and 10.4. You can get it at walmart, which makes it easy to find. It says windows only on the package but netgear has the mac os x drivers on their site and it works well. You install the driver and then restart and when you go to the network settings it will find the new "ethernet" adapter. It uses a netgear program to actually make the connection. I did this exact thing for my mother's G3 350 MHZ iMac on 10.3 originally. Be careful though, if at anytime you upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4 you will need to uninstall and reinstall the driver. Any failure to uninstall before upgrading the driver makes it not work. I upgraded her imac and had this problem, but once I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled the correct one it worked perfectly again. One thing though, the G3 imacs only have usb 1.1 so it doesn't work as fast as it could but it still more than enough for a G3. On Aug 18, 2009, at 7:54 AM, Simon Royal wrote:
