Much as I probably shouldn't I rely on you great guys for taking pity on an "old guy", me 75, I do. Have received wonderful advice and thanks to all of you.
I am not very tech savvy but was able to remove the HD from my G3/300 mini tower. Put it in my checked luggage and flew back east on vacation with it. While there, a friend partitioned it for me so I could install OS X v10.2 Jaguar. Got detailed instructions on removal of the HD from the list. Now have a new problem. My CD tray has stopped working. It opens OK but when I try to install any software, nothing happens. No spinning noise. No icon on desk top, just dead. Also no Jaguar, I operate on 9.2. >From the above I have concluded that I need to replace the CD unit. Now, I also have another Mac, a mini tower a G3/266. My questions are: 1) Can I remove the CD unit from one and install it in the other? 2) If I can, is it a fairly straight forward job? 3) Need a referral to a site with detailed instructions how to do the job.
