Mac Forum / General / Hardware / June 2008G3 450 blue and white tower with a SCSI hard drive in it need specs
I just bought a G3 450 blue and white tower on eBay. It’s one that came with 9 GB Ultra2 SCSI hard drive instead of a Ultra ATA hard drive. Will it have the other IDE bus waiting for two IDE hard drives to be able to be hooked up? And if so did apple bother to include the cable? And because it is got a SCSI device will one of the PCI slots be filled with a SCSI board? And if so will that Board have an external outlet to be able to hook up an external SCSI chain? Will the card have two SCSI buses on it? Oh and are the internal zip and CD-Rom drive IDE and not SCSI? I know I have a lot of questions that will all be answered when I get it but I’d like to know in advance what I can expect. > I just bought a G3 450 blue and white tower on eBay.

I just gave a "B&W" Power Mac to a friend; though it has the Ultra2 SCSI in it, it comes with the ability to plug in an ATA hard drive, too, as long as you have the correct cable. (In fact, I pulled the SCSI drive before giving it to my friend, and put in an ATA drive.) I believe the 9 GB Ultra2 SCSI drive was a more pricey configuration on this model -- in other words, optional. More specs are available on EveryMac.com, which has extensive details on all Apple products. Charssun >> I just bought a G3 450 blue and white tower on eBay.

(That is, if it is indeed running a SCSI drive.) The internal zip and CD-ROM drives will be IDE. Charssun |
