[G4] How do I connect a Powermac G4 400 DVD to a beige Powermac G3?

[Al Poulin]

Also, look up "File Sharing" and "Networking" in your G4's Finder menus 
for both OSs for details on setting up.  Apple's web site also has 
excellent pages on the subject.

As for SCSI, check that your scanner vendors have software drivers to 
work with OS X.  Apple also has some covered in their list of 
compatible peripherals, and there is some third party software out 
there.  I do not have the details ready at hand.
