Hi Steven,
Are you able to ping the IP address of the G3 from your MacBook Pro?
If so, and establishing an AFP connection is proving elusive, perhaps
try ftp. That it,s set up an ftp server on the G3 and see if you can
connect using an ftp client on the MacBook. Versiontracker should be
able to provide both server and client software options.
Hope this helps,
Matt.

don't give up yet !
Bob, to answer your query, in OSX mode the 'About This Computer'
window
shows Memory 160MB, Processor 233 MHz, PowerPC G3. More info reveals
PowerBook G3 series (version = 2.2).

OK , I think I have found it in Mac Tracker :
PowerBook G3 Wallstreet introduce May 1998 , Maximum OS 10.2.8 ,
Original OS was Mac OS 8.0
Ethernet 10Base T
Scsi external HDI 30
I am out of my depth here , but if it is Ethernet 10Base-T it is
probably not compatible with Ethernet 10-100
on later Macs !
Scsi HDI-30 needs a special cord if I remember correctly ...
Somebody on list may still have one ,,
and I have a PM 7600 that would connect to that if it's needed

Should be able to make that Powerbook work ! What model / year of
manufacture is it ?
The MacTracker info seems to say the actual Powerbooks were
Pre G3
but this could have been upgraded with a special .

I understand the PowerBook has OSX installed, but it doesn¹t seem
to boot up
with OSX it only seems to boot up with OS 9.2.2. Even then, bombs
and what
not appear on start up, unless I boot up with Extensions off. The
PowerBook
is basically a piece of cr*p, but all I want to do is save the data
from the
hard disk.
The PowerBook has no USB or FireWire port, but it does have an
ethernet
port. I've connected the two machines via ethernet cable, but then
what do I
do? If I click on the Network icon on my MacBook Pro, I don't
see the
PowerBook.
Grateful for any suggestions.
