Nope. I doubt that anyone will ever make a USB interface for a
NUBUS machine. Too many $$, not enough demand.

Maybe. The Sonnet cards I use have a slot for a video card. However,
I have never found a video card to use in one.

What do you mean by "graphics card?"

I expect the G3 upgrade is the only really economical upgrade. Besides
maxing out the RAM and installing a reasonably sized hard drive.

Well, for digital photography, it could be a challenge to get
the photos into the machine. Once there, the thing is a bit of a dog
on anything that it "graphics intense." It runs Claris/AppleWorks ok.
Anything that is memory intense (Microsoft stuff) could be a bit of
a challenge.

Not bad machines, but they do have a few shortcomings for some "modern"
uses.
