this dvd rom was put in buy the guy who sold it to me.
That would be Gabe. You got it at a fair price, and I assume you knew the amount of work you were in for? Does the machine have one or two drive bays?
also I don't have any OS 9 disk yet he has to find them and mail them to me.
It turns out that machine is fully supported for OS X 10.2.8. You might try that first, but of course you will needed sighted assistance for that. Jaguar is available for cheap (Apple gave it away to teachers) and I think came on CDROM. Here is a article from 2002 from a guy who was very pleased with OS X performance on a Beige G3. http://www.lowendmac.com/webb/02/0325.html
