Can anyone advise me on what I need to attach a LaCie CD Burner from my older computer set-up (power mac with serial connections) to my newer computer set-up (G3 with firewire ports)?

Thanks!

Actually, after reading some of the other posts, I'm thinking that maybe it is USB that I am trying to connect to -- NOT firewire, but I am not sure. I had planned on using the ports on the side of the monitor that comes with the G3..
Again, any advice??

Assuming the old CD Burner is SCSI, you will need to add a SCSI PCI card to the machine. USB-SCSI adapters are slow and can be very unreliable. I suggest the Adaptec 2906 SCSI card. It usually sells for around $60 in the catalogs (Mac Warehouse, MacMall, etc.).
