I got the drive from Austin computers Cannington (ask for Adam and mention my name) you may have to pay $180 at worst I reckon. The install is a doddle for me as I know a little about the internals. The drive replaces the original, in its position and in its config (being the secondary master that is). Where my original Zip was (now in a PC) I have a 40gb slave drive to add to the 40gb drive which is the master and alone on the other channel (this setup seemed to be impossible under OS9 with this Rev A G3). Good old OSX. We took the precaution some months ago, in anticipation of the Superdrive, of replacing the original 350mhz CPU with a 500mhz Sonnet unit bought from another list member. Glitch count: 0 (however a ram module did die when we replaced the CPU, but it was a dodgy unit I believe and possibly a coincidence anyway) OS rating: 10/10 Tools required: Espresso Machine. Phillips-head screwdriver. Chuffed! Cheers Paul

A friend just dropped off a 500mhz G3 imac they've just bought which I've committed to get up and running as it were...(you know the price of evangelism!) It's arrived with OS10.0.4 on (h scary!) My friend just wants to surf, muck around with Photoshop a bit and do lots of DJ-ey music type stuff The question being go up to Panther or down to OS9 thanks for any wisdom Stew UP.
