I put a new USB PCI card into my G3/300 and it now won't boot. What are the
steps for this? OSX 2.8  and normally I would boot with extensions off but
don't think I can do this with OSX. I get the spinning wheel thingy as well
as the 'verboten' sign and nothing else. I was hoping the USB would install
as simply as the firewire, absolute plug and play but it looks more
complicated.
(As a complete aside, if any of you have not experienced wireless Internet,
there is something absolutely magical about having a laptop sitting there
with no wires coming out of it while surfing the 'net. Is epiphany too
strong a word? )

Double check your installation. I installed one in my G3/300 last year 
and it worked fine. What revision is your computer? Mine is revision 2.
I hope your card is ok.
