There must not be a FireWire (why should it be ?) And a borrowed external USB DVD drive will do - if the Mac has the other features. And all of this is possible without XPostFacto. A large amount of RAM is always recommended. But be careful about large disks with these machines. I transferred an internal drive from a G4 (the Matshita DVD RAM burner) to the G3/350 b&w, took the 'Tiger' DVD and installed it with a few clicks - no problems. Not the fastest system for this computer, I have to mention. Lars
