Eagle, As long time proud father of a Rev B tower, I can identify with your love! I do have some places to start you off at: Check out the discussions @ Apple in the support forums. They are quite active with many who know their stuff. Another Valuable resource is http://www.xlr8yourmac.com. Check out the G3 zone. You can't post in the forums, but the posting are full of great info! . > such as what I can plug into the PERCH slot, Unfortunately, the only things that will work in the perch slot are the Apple personality cards. There were 3 of them: Audio I/O, A/V I/o and A/V I/O + DVD. It was a failed attempt at making a new standard. The A/V card has a "DAV" connecter that gives direct access to the video subsystem. Avid began devolpment on a card that would take advantage of this, but it was so much vaporware...

It also doesn't provide the open firmware boot process (AFAIK), or the on screen startup disk selection at boot. > > I might also be interested in putting USB and/or FireWire PCI cards into > the machine -- I wonder if OS X Server 1.2 supports them. The MT will certainly use the cards...I don't know about the Server OS. > > Now to start playing! Have fun! Feel free to mail me direct if I can be of help...
