I've just bought an iMac G3 350Mhz from eBay. I wanted a cheap introduction to the world of the Mac and tt seemed that all other Macs were a lot more expensive. At the moment it's got only 192Mb RAM, a 7Gb hard drive, and a CD-ROM drive. The installed OS is version 9. I know from watching a video on YouTube that I can upgrade it to 1Gb RAM, 128Gb hard drive, DVD-ROM drive and OS X 10.3.
At the moment I can't connect to my Virgin Media WiFi network, so I thought I'd ask here for some advice. It seems there are three possible ways. 1. Connect an Ethernet cable to my Netgear WiFi router 2. Fit an "Airport" card which may or may not need an adapter or caddy 3. Plug in a USB WiFi adapter available on eBay, which would also require a USB hub, or some other USB adapter, because I'm already using both the USB ports for keyboard and mouse. Unfortunately, I've already done a test with my ZTE 3G USB modem, which comes with Mac installation software stored on it, but this software doesn't run under Mac OS 9 and it doesn't detect the USB modem at all. Any advice would be appreciated. The iMac was delivered with lots of software installed on the hard drive, so I don't want to delete this when I upgrade to OS X. Can you tell me how to avoid deleting it, or perhaps I can install an additional hard drive, while keeping the old hard drive in place. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
