Forget about any USB tuners. Your iMacs have only USB 1.1, which does not have the necessary bandwidth for video.
Firewire tuners existed, but they were pricey. Formac made one, but recommended it only for 500+ MHz processors. The horsepower of the G3 iMacs really wasn't up to even SD analog video. Digital would be out of the question. On Aug 26, 8:34 am, Austin Leeds <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I was recently given two iMac G3s: a 333 MHz Lime and a 350 MHz > Blueberry.
