Hi there. This is my first post to this list, which I have been receiving for a couple of weeks. I hope I am not asking questions that are too basic...
I have been given (for free!) a blue & white G3, 400 mhz I think. I dunno what difference the color makes. My friend is not a Mac person at all but thinks it has OS9 on it plus some fairly major design software. So it's really a pig in a poke for me but at least there's no money involved. Yet. It does not have a monitor, mouse, or anything else, just the unit itself and a Macally keyboard of some unknown provenance, and a power cord. Up to now I have been using a Umax Supermac C500 (purchased new in June 1997), currently with 8.6, and upgraded to a G3/280, the max 144 mb RAM, and a 20gb HD. This G3 is completely new territory for me. How do I find out what this thing does? If anyone could offer me the most basic guidance on how to proceed I would really appreciate it. For instance, I assume my current monitor would work, but will the keyboard and mouse from my C500 work with it? If not, what kinds should I be looking for (or avoiding) and what might they run me? Also, is there a way to get manuals for the unit itself and whatever software it might have? My thanks for any information, thoughts, leads, etc. -- Bill Spencer in New Hampshire -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
