The Platinum/Beige Power Mac G3 models have onboard 10Base-T Ethernet. Some configurations shipped standard with a 10/100Base-T Ethernet card in a PCI slot and all models could be custom configured as such. The “Blue & White” Power Mac G3 models shipped with 10/100Base-T Ethernet. All models can be upgraded to Gigabit (10/100/100Base-T) Ethernet with a compatible PCI card. Site sponsor Operator Headgap Systems offers a Gigabit Ethernet card that works in both MacOS 9 and MacOS X and is available for less than US$25 including shipping in the domestic US.
