I think macs of that vintage don't work with cable select as an option on drives. There are different versions of the OS 8/9 CDs that only work with specific models of macs and then there are the retail versions that work with anything. -----Original Message----- From: Liam Proven Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 5:47 PM To: Discussion: On-Topic Posts Only Subject: Problematic Apple PowerMac beige G3 So, anyone here able to offer some Beige G3 tech guidance or advice? --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
