Last time I used an apple was the Apple ][+! Went over to the PC camp. Never used a Mac. Recently acquired a powermac G3 which I thought can be used as a trial of mac os. Some problems though. Please help...
1) When switched on there is a musical chime and a grey screen appears with a folder icon which alternate between a ? and a face. Nothing else happens. How do I proceed? Could it be because I plugged in a pc keyboard (a wireless microsoft desktop 1000 via usb) since I do not have a mac keyboard
2) Are the pci cards the same as for the pc? That is can I plug in any card meant for use in a pc
3) Noted that the ram is pc100. Are they the same as used in pc's. Have some old dimms which I would like to try...
