I don't see why the second requires the first. You want to burn a
bootable cd on the g3 ?

You have to use tcp ip. you turn off apple talk for that. Making the
g3 the server then you can "log in" that is get the shared drive on
9600 by clicking on chooser -> AppleShare -> connect and typing the
numerical adress of the g3 and then your password (you will not see g3
in the window when apple talk is off)

you can connect the drive to the 9600 if you get a new drive. you can
get a pci card for ide or whatever in there.

I reccomend working at the 9600 even if you use g3 server and burn as
above. because osx not so good with os9. you can use os9 util to make
image.

well on my systems that happens around 100MB, not too mention that the
newer computer hangs on smaller transfers until they complete.

If you are going to keep the 9600 you need a backup drive you can
connect to it directly... (or a second internal hard drive)

anyway, which g3 is it ? if it is a blue+white (turquoise) you may be
able upgrade the motherboard. I got one of the yikes! (original and
compatible) g4 on ebay for $25.
same thing goes for that as to the backup drive.

use the new drive to back up once then reformat the old drive and use
that for future backups.
you need to use some cautions about what kinds of external drives /
card combinations will be bootable.
