iMac G3 Modern SATA SSD Upgrade + Mac OS 9.2 Install (First Generation Tray Loading Grape iMac)
In this video we’re tearing apart the $15 Grape iMac G3 to install a modern SATA SSD! This is a first-gen tray loading iMac revision D released in 1999, so the best fastest version of the original iMac. We’re going to make it even faster (and way quieter!) by installing a cheap modern SSD from Amazon, along with a cheap SATA to IDE adapter.

If you’re looking for a SATA to IDE converter to do this yourself, you’ll need to make sure it has a jumper to select if the drive is master or not.
