Somebody from the list will mail the driver to you. ;-)

>2. Is it better to upgrade with a 5400 or 4200 rpm hardrive?

4200 is cheaper.  I'd opt for the 4200 as it probably runs a bit 
cooler and heat is going to be an issue since you are adding a Newer 
G3,

>3. Where can I get detailed instructions for upgrading the HD, memory and
>cardbus?

Try <http://www.sineware.com/mac2400>
Memory is easy, first layer of parts.
HD and G3 card require you go all the way in.
Cardbus is a toss-up, depending on which logic board you have, it may 
just be clipping a wire or two...or it may not be possible at all.

>4. What tools are necessary?

Small screwdriver, strip of tape to hold the screws in the order they 
are removed.....and lots of patience.
