Yes. You can take the cloned G4 Quicksilver System and boot in via Firewire on the G3 and simply use it that way; or clone it again onto an internal HD in the G3 iMac. A lot of times using a large external Firewire HD is easier than upgrading a small internal HD. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
