Go to the Other World Computing Site and down load the S/W that will allow you to install OS 9.2. Persons on the list are even running OS X on G3's. Months ago, the "Poop Scoop" was: you had to have a PTP with a G4 card. So I bought a PTP and a G4 card ... Now people tell me I could have used my PCP w/Sonnet G3 500MHz card .... !@#$% .
I have an eMac w/ OS 10.2 ... With Toast Titanium and on OS 9.2, it burns CD's on the pretty quick ... BUT when I need to get something done in a hurry ... I boot up the PTP G4 450 MHz W/ OS 9.1. It's a jet! No Macros with OS X.
