apparently whenever it was that apple thought up the idea for the imac G3, that thought it would be clever to make it not recognize hard drives of specific brands personally, I think they showed remarkable foresight in knowing it would piss you off well, lets think for a second, who wouldn't it piss off? i want to put a hard drive in here, but wait, it doesn't like my harddrive because its a quantum fireball anyone who doesn't want to put a hard drive made by those brands into a G3? doesn't bother me at all and even if I owned an imac G3, it still wouldn't bother me it would bother you if the only drive you had available to install was a non-supported brand well, that's hypothetical whereas in reality, it's only bothering you wow, this is just sad its lagging on the screensaver it's probably dialling the FBI to tell them about the contents of the screensaver +1 ZING! its a whirly glowy thing you mean you drug them now?
