Actually, I have one of the very first Beige G3/266 MT's ever made (announced in November, arrived in November :-) and mine came with a built-in ZIP Drive.
I'm all but positive mine is a Rev. A, not a Rev. B or C. I would think that you could get a really LARGE FireWire HD for under $200 to plug into your PCI card and dedicate part of that as a back-up source. I have, and it works pretty darned well! No slave issues. It's just another drive that mounts. Retrospect backs up fine to it too! Peace. on 06/13/02 7:23 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > [ * ] Late /266 machines are Rev.
