My monitor is dead in 2007.since i am happy with my iMac but I cannot acces older os9 files
Hi,
Take a look at the upper PCI card of your Power Macintosh G3 blue and white. It should have a standard VGA (D-Sub 15) port, meaning that a whole range of monitors (Apple or third-party, both CRT and older LCD) can be connected. If an Apple monitor cable has a larger DB-15 plug, it is possible to use a Mac-to-VGA adapter.
BTW, since the computer apparently has been in storage for some time, check the condition of the 3.6 V logic board lithium battery. A low battery voltage can cause various difficulties.

Thank you very much.
Now I know there is a hardware solution in case a software one does not work as I do have the files in my iMac.
Hi, on the PSDs I'd try...
GraphicConverter...
On Illustrator files might try this...
