i have the same one, I just cant get it past the startup screen, a disk somes up on the screen, I dont know what thats all about. I do know it hasnt started up in years before that.
I had an LC520 running Mac OS 7.6. Kept the thing from 1992 to about 2001, with a hard drive crash somewhere in between. I think the second hard drive has crashed too.
I have the same one and it worked perfectly but now when it starts up I just get this disc with a question mark instead of the little mac in the middle of the screen screen. I grew up with that mac and learned off of that one so I hope I can revive it.
@omg122448 A Disk With A Question Mark Means The System Folder Must Have Gotten Erased Somehow My Mac G3 Has A Folder With The Question Mark Which Means The Same Thing: Where Is My System Software??
I'll bet that error when you started up was about the PRAM battery being dead lol. I've gone through about three of those damn things and I finally quit buying them, they're like 25 bucks a piece...

Any particular reason why?

@hydraeus it has updates and is more stable.
all you need to do is copy the system folder from a system 7.5.3 intallation to the system folder.
also, i would install quicktime 2.5 over QT 1 which is on there.

I take it you also have more recent Macintosh systems, such as the newer Intel Macs or macBooks, sadly I don't have one, but I do like them.

Well I can tell you that the newest Mac I have is a G3 Blue & White running OS 9.2. Pretty useful for repairing older machines.
