It has a slot, no tray... it might be 6GB drive now that I think of
it... I haven't hooked it up in awhile
I don't have nearly the room to hook up any more computers... besides,
those old ones are way too slow as compared to my G4 Titanium PB
(1.6GHz, the fastest G4 Apple ever made) and my G5 Dual 2.0GHz. In fact
I've just shelved my G3 B/W tower/Panther... I'm swapping it out and
replacing it with my (currently) dead G4 Quicksilver 800MHz/Tiger as
soon as I get another HD. Btw, would I be able to install a
Western Digital Caviar GP 500GB hd drive on the G4?... I'm no techie
Thanks

slot-loading 4Gb HD 256Mb RAM 350MHz
Had OS 9.1 if I remember correctly (got it secondhand about 5-6 years
ago) which I upped to 9.2.2 at first, and then 2 years ago loaded
Panther (OSX 10.3.9). Also have the same-era G3 Clamshell laptop
(so-called 'toilet seat' haha) with roughly same specs... replaced those
with G4 and G5 machines over the last 2 years, but still have the G3s
Ikea'd in plain view, I swap them on and off my 4-mac lan (which
includes my trusty Power Mac 8600 MacOS 8.6) occasionally. All
secondhand.... don't need brand new, never did.
That info is confused. 4Gb HD implies a tray loader (unless someone
downgraded the drive. But 350 MHz implies slot loader.
Last year I got a tangerine clamshell. I always liked the look of
that model. It was very different in a industry of sameness.
You can always get a 8 port switch, cheap, so you can have all the
computers on the net at once. I've got a 16 port gigabit switch, 24
port 10/100 switch, 16 port 10MBps hub and assorted other little ones
hooking everything up. And three wireless APs for the laptops and such.
