So, I bought this Beige G3 off a guy for $100. Now, I was not familiar with any mac before the LCD iMac, so lets just say this was more than a gamble. All I told him is I want to run Tiger or at least Panther and use a wi-fi card. Its going to be a server for sharing music and photos for my household.
So, it arrives. Its a desktop. A Rev. B 266 Mhz/ ATI Rage Pro G3. Except it has a 450MHz G4 upgrade and a 60GB ATA HD.
So, now the problems.
Ummm.... ok.
Well. I got a screen. All I get is a floppy with a big "?" on it. Whats going on? .
Second, where is the keyboard and mouse inputs?
Thrid, anyone know of a good cheap wi-fi card for the PCI?
Also, I have a 200GB HD EIDE. Will it work in this computer? Where is the cable to attach it to. Should I just take out the cable from the CD rom drive and put in there. But I need that. Do I need to go get a PCI-EIDE interface.... if so.... any suggestions? Do I need to partition the thing to less than 127GB? How does that work... the HD limit?
Also, when I boot, there is no noise coming out of the computer or headphone jack except for the fan.... is that a problem? Is something wrong with the PRAM?
