Yes I have used it, it functioned. The very first version of 6 had an issue with G3s but that has been fixed. It is MUCH faster on my G4 but it was useable on my Pismo and it was better than 5. David On Nov 21, 2003, at 9:11 AM, Frank Cornew wrote: I delayed transitioning to OSX until

The 10GB in the Pismo is 4200rpm because that is the only speed Apple shipped in them. Unless you replaced it at some point. I believe the drives in all G3 iMacs were 5400rpm but I could be wrong on that point. MacTracker notes drive speeds on main models, you might try there. David On Nov
