Do a google search on "target mode", this may help.
Basically you connect both macs together, then press T while the one you want to copy from is starting up, its hard drive is then accessible to the other one. This may not help, as I understand it you need to connect them together using a firewire connection.
yes mattie, that's one other option. however, I wasn't sure if G3 had a firewire connection, and was even less sure that OS9 could transfer easily to OSX (I thought you needed OS10.2+ to use that feature with ease).
does anyone else you know have a zip drive, that also has a cd writer? or, your G3 will have a USB (i'm sure it does, but maybe only USB1), then you could get a usb flash drive (something like a 1GB size) to transfer your stuff across. you can get these for about �40 or so, and would still be very useful to you when you're using your G5 regularly too I would think.
