Anyone have any ideas on how to get this bottom cover off my g3?

Original Beige G3s don't have a PCI-PCI bridge. Grackle is the memory controller and the PCI host controller. The B&W G3 overclocks Grackle PCI to 66 MHz.

That is what I said: the stuff that’s behind the PCI bridge (in the B&W) is (instead) directly on the Grackle instead of going through that 66mhz DMZ with only the video card slot also in it.

That makes more sense. I misinterpreted what you said. "stuff that's behind the PCI-PCI bridge is directly tree'ed off the Grackle" should have been "stuff that's behind the PCI-PCI bridge in the B&W G3 is directly tree'ed off the Grackle in the Beige G3".
