Hi all,
I've been away and am just getting caught up.
Both the LC475 and the G3 are inoperable, the LC you know about and the G3 needs a power supply plus I don't know what else.
As soon as I can get a power supply I'l give the G3 a shot but I don't have much hope, I've gathered parts far and wide and there's no telling if it'll do anything when it's powered up. I've got a scsi hard drive (about 8-9 Gb I believe) with a fresh install of Mac OS 9... I'm hoping that will suffice.
If I get the OS 7.xxx install package (Mac original) will it have everything I need? Boot diskette etc? If I can get that installed then upgrading it should be a snap ;^)
The diskette drive from the G3 gives every indication that it's working, when I put it in the LC475. The original LC diskette drive seems defective. The G3 drive can't be a permanent installation in the LC since the connector is in a different place... unless I use the G3 cable as well... hmmmm...
