Well let's see here.. The only way to really tell whether you've got a Rev 1 or 2 G3 is to look at the chip on the motherboard itself.. People will say look at the drive brackets and what not, but I have seen Rev 1 G3's with the newer dual drive bracket as well as the newer Rage 128 card etc... We had then all over the place at work, and after checking they were all Rev 1's.. I don�t have the URL but over at xr8yourmac.com you can find a nice guide to determining this.. I'm sure someone will be kind and post the direct link.. :)
As for your cd question, no you cant. The lower bay is the perfect size for an internal Zip Drive.. I thought about this too since my G3 didn�t come with a Zip, but nope, my Plextor burner wouldn�t fit without cutting the assembly apart hehe.. So instead I made a friend give me his unused internal Zip from his G4.. :) > Hi there, > I'm currently using an iMac but would like to get a PowerMac G3 B&W or > later (ie. grey) in the near future. > I'd like to know whether it is possible to distinguish between a Revision > 1 & 2 PowerMac.
