I have a G5 iMac Intel that I could use... what adapter cord would I need to connect them, Firewire? If the G3 won't power up is any of this even possible? There is no sound from the HD, nothing but the initial "bump" of power... then nothing. Will the Firewire cord supply enough power for startup if it's just a bad display?
