I don't know if a standard ATX PSU will work. The G4 I worked on a few
weeks ago seemed to have a standard power supply, but with a seprate pair of
wires for a fan that was connected.
G4 "Sawtooth" - 350-450MHz, 100Mb ethernet, AGP video - can use a
standard ATX PSU with a simple -wire-wire modification. The other G4
PSUs *look*, standard, but they definitely aren't. The Digital Audio
model requires a 28V supply line....
I don't recall whether a G3 will boot with a dead battery or not, but
I'm fairly sure it won't boot with no battery.
