Len, It may take some searching (e-bay, smalldog, or Powermax) but if you really want to stick with a G3, your best bet is a G3 Mini Tower 266 or 300. Most...and I repeat most, of the G3 MT 266 are rev b ROM to answer your question at the bottom of your post. Unless the ROM is rev. b or later you will not be able to add additional slave drive support and other minor upgrade issues. Other than than the bus speed (66 MHz) this is the easiest and most upgrade able of the G3 form factor( IMHO ).
We have two G3 MT's at our house. My G3 333, and my daughters G3 266. They include SCSI cards that are adequate, as well as ATA capability. The Video ram is limited to 6 Mb, the physical ram limited to 768. They contain additional drive bays and 3 pci slots that allow placement of additional video and USB, Firewire etc. I have found the G3 MT's that I own to be the most stable and solid box that I have ever owned. Now, that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to have the new G4 933. But I can dream can't I?
