Thanks for the important info Elliott
Just hooked up the G3 iMac. It has 128Mb RAM 350MHz
I have a 5.86Gb Panther partition and a 500Mb Classic partition
I still maintain that the Blueberry iMac should be purple, like actual
blueberries
This one is turquoise... my Clamshell G3 is way darker

If the WD 500Gb is a full size IDE HD, (and not a laptop drive, or
SATA,) then yes. It's really easy to swap drives in the G4 towers.
Just make sure the cable settings are correct (Master/Slave).

It has a slot, no tray... it might be 6GB drive now that I think
of it... I haven't hooked it up in awhile
I don't have nearly the room to hook up any more computers...
besides, those old ones are way too slow as compared to my G4
Titanium PB (1.6GHz, the fastest G4 Apple ever made) and my G5
Dual 2.0GHz. In fact I've just shelved my G3 B/W tower/Panther...
I'm swapping it out and replacing it with my (currently) dead G4
Quicksilver 800MHz/Tiger as soon as I get another HD. Btw, would I
be able to install a
Western Digital Caviar GP 500GB hd drive on the G4?... I'm no techie
Thanks

slot-loading 4Gb HD 256Mb RAM 350MHz
Had OS 9.1 if I remember correctly (got it secondhand
about 5-6 years
ago) which I upped to 9.2.2 at first, and then 2 years ago
loaded
Panther (OSX 10.3.9). Also have the same-era G3 Clamshell
laptop
(so-called 'toilet seat' haha) with roughly same specs...
replaced those
with G4 and G5 machines over the last 2 years, but still
have the G3s
Ikea'd in plain view, I swap them on and off my 4-mac lan
(which
includes my trusty Power Mac 8600 MacOS 8.6) occasionally. All
secondhand.... don't need brand new, never did.
That info is confused. 4Gb HD implies a tray loader (unless
someone downgraded the drive. But 350 MHz implies slot loader.
Last year I got a tangerine clamshell. I always liked the
look of that model. It was very different in a industry of
sameness.
You can always get a 8 port switch, cheap, so you can have all
the computers on the net at once. I've got a 16 port gigabit
switch, 24 port 10/100 switch, 16 port 10MBps hub and assorted
other little ones hooking everything up. And three wireless
APs for the laptops and such.
