My PowerMac G3 is having trouble logging in and the monitor has a greenish tint. I've tried to boot from the CD drive to use the diagnostic on the installation disc but of course that is having trouble.
Been thinking of upgrading to a Mac Mini for awhile mainly for a music server which kinda failed with the G3.
Anyway... ..
1) Can I switch to OS9 and OS X Tiger (I would like to still be able to play some games that work in those OSes) from the hard drives if I use an external enclosure?
2) I assume I will be able to access all files (documents, pictures and music) and transfer it to the Mini, right? Possibly even use the HDs as extra storage for this?
3) Which Mac Mini? old or new one?
4) If I really want OS9 and OS X Tiger would a G4 or even G5 be better?
5) Profit?
