Found Power MAC G3...

Hello, I am Jan from Germany. Last month I found an old Power MAC G3 into my basement when I was cleaning up Wink. So I pluged the machine and taaaa..the typical sound came up, but that was it. No HDD was booting. I found out that the hdd was not working anymore and replaced it. Also the CDROM was out of order. After I replaced this too I could install OS 9.1 after update 9.2.2.
So I thought what to do with this old machine... and I came up installing old games, like you offer here on this website. I was looking around into www but there is nearly nothing likely.- This is difference to the Commodore (c64 & AMIGA) scene. There is a much bigger fan community. But with old Apple MACs, you'll find nothing.
So I was happy to find your website, but now sadly by downloading there is for days the message:
"Downloads are being migrated, and will be back in a few days. Requested page not found." - is coming up.
Is this condition permanent? or is there a chance for a come back...? Thank you and regards Jan

Hi Jan, read through the topic "Is the Garden down right now?". It might be a little while before you can DL files in the short term, so check by from time to time. Cheers.

Nice finding Jan! A G3 should be able to run many gems collected here.
As Mike says, the Garden is being migrated to a new powerful server right now.
If you are looking for a special item, I may have it stored locally. Do you plan to install OSX too?
If yes, please have a look with wired, Max1zzz´s server is online and some others too.
Max´s server does work with HTTP and FTP too, of course.
Greets from the Danish border. Smile

Schöner Fund, Jan. Ein G3 sollte mit vielen Schätzen hier laufen.
Wie Mike sagt, zieht der Garden gerade um auf einen neuen starken Server.
Falls du etwas spezielles suchst, könnte ich es lokal gesichert haben. Willst du auch OSX installieren?
Falls ja, schau mal mit wired, Max1zzz´s Server ist online und ein paar andere auch.
Max´s Server bietet auch HTTP und FTP, nur für den Fall
Grüße von der dänischen Grenze. Smile
