I have run everything from Champion Server to YDL 3.0.1 on a 233MHz
Beige G3, just fine. The trick is to remember to use BootX on the Mac
OS 9 side and have the appropriate kernels which BootX can refer to so
that you boot into the correct kernel from Mac OS 9. There is no
version of BootX for OS X and therefore to use YDL 4 and onwards you
will have to maintain MacOS 9 and boot into YDL 4 from MacOS 9.
If this sounds a bit perverse, others have gotten YDL 4 to run on Beige
G3 systems by some interesting means which appear astonishing.
You mention weeping and gnashing... unfortunately there are those for
whom, weeping and gnashing are just encouragements and challenges to
get an impossibly difficult task become probably tolerable. For a few
this is even called "recreation". The old story of one person's beef
is another's poison, applies here.

I have tried to install YDL 2.x and 3.x on some early Power Macs

7500s) one of the later "Power Center" clones, and on an early pre-iMac

paying for support, etc.
I would really like to get YDL running on SOMETHING. So, let me try
approaching this from the opposite direction...
What would be considered the safest, most slam-dunk-easy, Macintosh
model
for the installation of YDL? I have a used iMac (e.g. green tray
loading,
333 mHz) and used G4 towers (400 mHz, I don't know if they are Yikes or
Sawtooth) available to me through work. Either of those models OK for
instaling YDL without weeping and gnashing of teeth?
Thanks,
