The adapter most likely isn't working properly. Try buying one from ebay. Here's one I found: http://cgi.ebay.com/UNIVERSAL-MAC-VGA-Adapter-1-178B-NEW_W0QQitemZ300159125224QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

Never mind, I found one for only $13. http://cgi.ebay.com/ASTEC-POWER-SUPPLY-AA16251-FOR-APPLE-614-0003-LC-III_W0QQitemZ150282111881QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_UPS?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

The power supply is probably getting old and needs to be replaced. That would explain the "burnt fish," and Hard Disk problems. Here's a power supply from ebay for $35...

I would guess that the hard drives you are trying to plug in are incompatible with the Mac.

Congratulations on your re-find! Have fun with your Mac! It seems as though another user has already found your missing manual.

The LC III uses a 50 pin SCSI internal connector, and a 25 pin DB-25 external SCSI connector. The LC III originally came with either an 80 MB or 160 MB Hard Disk.

I had no idea that motherboards could come in contact with water. I always dust off the motherboard with a paper towel after coming across a new computer. On my LC III, there was so much dust coating the inside that I thought apple had gone with a gray motherboard... :D

I wonder if you can upgrade it to Mac OS 9... ;)

Sometimes the most frustrating problems are the ones that you completely understand. I moved a few system resources from the start up folder on my G3 iBook (running OS 9,) and now the system shows a question mark each time I attempt to start it up. Is there any way I can move an item back to the...

Mac OS X is supported by G3's up to 10.4 Tiger, so yes, it will run. I would advise using a previous version of Mac OS X unless you need it for some reason. The later the OS, the slower it tends to run, and we wouldn't want to stress out the older processor.

The CPU may have been offset.

Could the entire operating system be deleted? Perhaps a hacker... or a very serious system error. Maybe the hard drive died... did you hear it spinning up?

Thank you all for the replies :b&w: The LC III was scheduled to be recycled due to its age. I believe it was previously used by the board of ed, then passed down to our middle school for use by the music department. As far as I know, it has been sitting there, unused, for years. The LC no...

That sounds alright to me :b&w:

I was very excited to discover an old LC III sitting alone in our school's basement. With the permission of one of our IT people, I took to LC III home along with the SCSI connected hard disk it came with. I plugged it in to my PC's monitor via and adapter, and to my delight, I heard the...

The incompatibility can be very frustrating. I did find an adapter... I need a dial up service to connect to the internet, however.

Anyone want to buy it?

I was mistaken... Apple Talk can be found in the advanced tab of the network...

Is there another anti-spam service we could use, similar to reCAPTCHA?

The upgrades look very nice. Thanks for all of your hard work, I really appreciate it.
