Tiger is only *supported* on New World Macs with built-in FireWire,
which means the installer won't run on "unsupported" Macs without some
help, from XPostFacto for example. It remains to be seen what kind of
hardware compatibility issues may rear their ugly heads on G3 upgraded
Old World Power Macs and/or the Beige G3's. I'd guess that most PCI
Power Macs will soon be able to run it - but to what end and how
practical that might be is another question.

No. the presence or absence of FW doesn't have anything to do with it;=20=
it's the ROM versions that came with the addition of FW to the mac=20
that's important. Adding a FW card doesn't change the ROM, hence, any=20
mac not on the list they show needs XPF to load Tiger.
May I also point out that that was the most inane discussion of legal=20

Trust me folks, if ever you get into a legal jam, do not attempt to=20
