I can't help with the hardware issues, but you probably won't be able to run anything higher than 9.2.2 on a G3. I was able to get the first release of MacOSX running on a G3, but it ran so poorly I went back to 9.2 until I could upgrade my computer. If you're on USENET at all, alt.binaries.mac.applications.retro is usually a good resource for fooling around with older computers.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |

By upgrade, I meant get a new one entirely. Sorry about that.
In regards to the question of what you would have to do to your G3 to make it run OSX, my answer has to be get a G4 or G5. The G3 card itself can't really handle OSX well. Sometimes G3's won't even let you install it. If this is a computer just to mess around with, I'd suggest sticking with 9.2. OSX makes networking easier, and with the right computer runs a lot faster, but on a G3 it would be pointless, really. www.macupdate.com still has a lot of software available to download for OS 8.6-9.2. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
