Hi Derek
What should happen is that on the laptop, the G3 hard drive should mount as a
hard drive. It might take a few minutes. It’s worth looking in Disk Utility to
see if it shows up but greyed out.
Thanks,
-Jason

Is the laptop booted up as normal? It’s the G3 which should be in target disk

Hi Sam
Sadly it didn’t mount. I got the Firewire symbol (as indicated in the pic) but
I got no further.
Maybe the wrong version of the cable?
Cheers,

Hi Jason
I’ve been able to connect up the G3 to a MacBook via a Firewire cable, but I
don’t know if it’s Firewire 1 or 2 and , in any case I don’t seem to be getting
access to the G3.
Which order (laptop or G3) to I start first?
Thanks
Derek

That's firewire 1 (aka firewire 400) at the top (two of them). If you can
find someone with another firewire socket and the right cable, you can start it
up in 'target disk mode' (holding down T at start). Then it would show up in
the other machine as an external hard drive. However that might be tricky;
most machines don't have firewire and you need one with the right cable (eg
Firewire 2 (aka 800) to FW1). I would do it but I live in Buckinghamshire
now...but it looks as if you just need a VGA connection to a monitor. Quite a
few TVs have VGA, worth checking yours just in case. If that's tricky, then
Sam's advice might prove the easiest; as he said, it depends on the drive
connectors. Cheers J On 8 Oct 2018, at 14:21, Derek Cross wrote:
These are the outputs on the back of the G3.
I’ve been looking on eBay to see if I could find / borrow an old monitor.

When you say you can't connect to laptops, how are you doing that? I'm sure
Target Disk mode was around then (but you'd need firewire connections?) Cheers

Good morning Smuggers
I’ve an old blue and white G3. I’d like to retrieve any old photographs on it.
Unfortunately my external monitor seem broken and I can’t seem to connect it
to any of my laptops.
Any suggestions of how I could access the hard-disk would be be gratefully
received.
Best wishes
