<< Actually, if it works, it works just fine, runs better than Jag, in fact, it's just there are some beiges that were Never Meant For Panther. Mine was one.
I know someone who could never get even 10.2 installed on his, even after swapping out *every* component. (he had an Apple tech as a friend who took an interest, then an obsessive interest in getting...OSX...to...run...on...that...damn...Beige!) I think the beige G3 line is turning out to be one of the more idiosyncratic lines Apple made. -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig who says 'Ni!' >> Tell me about it. Just last night I was trying to install the same *Jaguar* that runs so well on a 12 MB Maxtor, on my beige G3 MT, onto a 20 MB Western Digital (from the installer CDs, not copying!). (This is from a 2002 iMac disk, but it worked with the Maxtor...I zeroed out the WD beforehand, BTW, & partioned it correctly for a beige, same as the Maxtor.) Install goes well, but then when it tries to boot from the WD, Open Firmware comes up & keeps telling me "Can't open...Can't open..." etc. for a while, then reboots -- dark screen for a while, then the same thing. Resetting the PRAM (10 times) & the NVRAM does nothing to help, except now it will boot into 9 (on a different drive). Holding down the opt. or X keys does the same thing. Yes, I know about the WD having to be jumpered for nothing when it's on its own solitary bus. Any thoughts?
