Thanks RJLaue, for your advice. I am seriously looking at a G3 900Mhz iBook, from Mac-Pro (Campbell, CA). I really like the idea of having a built-in CDRW. The old SCSI devices still work just fine for my older PowerMac 7300/500, and also for the old SE/30s we have still working. -- vjamacaddict http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/VernAndrews/ > From: Richard J Laue <rjlaue.lists at verizon.net> > vjamacaddict, in the list of peripherals you gave, the only scsi > devices I saw were a CDRW drive, and "several scsi harddrives." > > I think you should consider getting an iBook with the built-in CDRW > drive (which, by the way, will allow you to play DVD movies on your > iBook -- lots of fun!) and forget about trying to use the old scsi > CDRW.
