Alex is correct about the new G3s having USB, ADB and Firewire ports and the
lack of any 8-pin serial or SCSI port.

However, if you buy a pre-built system from the on-line Apple Store, only
the 400MHz system comes with the Ultra2 SCSI PCI card. Otherwise, you have
to go Build-To-Order - the SCSI-2 card with a 50- to 25-pin cable adapter is
a $50 add-on and won't be available for a week or two.
