[Hidden-tech] Data retrieval/storage

[Catamount]

Claire,

I do this sort of data retrieval, all the time.
1- If the G4 'boots', all the simpler. If it doesn't, the hard drive is 
removable, and likely your data is intact.
Decades of experience moving data between Macs and PCs, as well as 
retrieval.
2- This may describe a 'firewire 400' port, matching one on the iMac.

Or perhaps it is USB type B -

Either way, the drive inside the case can 95% likely be removed for raw 
data retrieval, if need be.

And you may be able to have all of it stuffed onto a modern USB flash 
drive...
