The hard disk is the original (!) Quantum Firebird EX 12 GB from

This is because USB does not support S.M.A.R.T. If you plug it into a

unplugging the machine, opening it, removing the PRAM battery, press
and hold the button nearest the battery (the one not labeled :POWER:)
This got my G3 B&W running just fine. Mine is a 400MHz rev.2 btw...
