Another option would be to ethernet them. I believe G3s have built in Ethernet. My 9500 does, and it was a PPC 604. You could go get a hub/switch, some cables, and ethernet them. On the OS X machine, you'd go to System Preferences, Networking, and Personal FileSharing. Then on the OS 9/8 one, go to Chooser and find the OS X computer there....
Another option would be to get a firewire/usb enclosure, and taking out the HD of the G3, and connecting it to the newer computer and moving files that way. This way is a little more risky and involved

You're right, if anyone can help you, it's probably someone here. I find myself in the same kind of predicament, unfortunately. Our university upgrades our computers on a 4-year cycle, which isn't quite short enough. I have a lot of files on a 1998 G3, and I'm trying to keep it alive and working because it can't communicate with my 2002 PowerBook Titanium G4. The problem is partly operating systems--OS 8.1 vs. OS X/Classic. But even more frustrating is the impossibility of connecting them directly. The G3 has only serial (or parallel--whatever) ports, while the G4 has only USB ports. The G3 can save to floppy, but the G4 has no floppy drive. The G3 can read CDs, but not burn them. Etc. Lots of luck, and I'll be watching for suggestions that might help me as well.
