As long as it is 7.5.5 (TCP/IP addition) it’s fine, and free to get from Apple on LOTS of Flops.
6.05 is fine to get files to a floppy drive OR even to a SCSI hard drive, that then gets stuffed into a PowerMac
6100.
If I recall correctly, the external SCSI works fine, and both are internal (ATA and SCSI). I had a lot (still have)
68040 machines and a few upgraded (StarMax) to G3 as well as some first run PPC 601 machines, and
I was constantly shifting drives back and forth rather than copy they over the network.

Beige G3, yours for shipping cost.
If only someone had made me that offer in 1998.

I hate to suggest this... but if you can't get online the way we do now, how about..."America Online" Do they still support dialup?
Asked and answered much earlier in the thread - yes.

Nope. Internal drive was the first to ship an ATA. There was no caddy mating needed - no different than
the Pismo had except to secure it in place. I have 3 of them. Two 520Cs and a 540C.
You're misremembering. I've worked on Every 5xx model. There would have to be an ATA/SCSI adapter. The 5300s were the first Powerbooks to
use IDE. ...
Yup. My 520's stock HD was SCSI. When I upgraded it to (I think) 1 GB, I had to get an ATA drive with a SCSI adapter attached to it. May have gotten it from OWC.
