I have inherited a Beige G3 Minitower with 2 IDE hard drives, one is
~20 Gb while the other is ~30 Gb. On one is MacOS 9.2 while on the
other is MacOS 8.6. The issue is that boot ups are very slow almost
like the machine is searching for a startup disk. The system is maxed
out insofar as instal
Correction! I'm now told it is a SCSI-2 device, not SCSI-1 as I first
stated. Sorry about that.

I have a chance to pick up a used Yamaha external SCSI CD-RW burner,
model CRW4260TX (4x2x6x). To my knowledge, it is a 50-pin SCSI-1.
Would this old Yamaha be a good match and compatible under MacOS 9 on
the G3 or if not what more recent and faster models would be
compatible? I do have a SCSI-

I've installed a SCSI-2 PCI card (Orange Micro) in my Beige G3
Minitower in preparation for use of an external SCSI-2 drive. Other
than firmware updaters, is there anything I should be aware which is
necessary to do in order to connect the device and have it work
succesfully? What about SCSI IDs
Will a SCSI-2 device such as a Teac CD-RW external drive work on a
Beige G3 MiniTower running OS 9.2.2? I can't seem to find any
information on just what SCSI this machine supports. Is it involved
and expensive to retrofit this machine with SCSI-2? I'm assuming this
G3 probably has only SCSI-1
Anyone happen to know if there are compatibility issues using an old
(1999) Yamaha 6x4x16x SCSI (external) burner connected to a G3
minitower (full-capacity RAM and 366 Mhz CPU) such as using standard
FujiFilm 8x24x CD-R discs? I run OS9.2.2 on the G3. This would be my
first attempt at using a bur
