You can take a G3 from Mac OS 7.1.2 (version which added PowerPC support) all the way to 10.4, which would take you from 1997 to 2005. I haven't done it, but I've read that getting 10.4 requires some finagling to achieve, so the last supported install you could do would be 10.3.9
- flomo 16y agoIIRC the minimum OS for a G3 was actually 8.something. (Apple generally doesn't/didn't support down-level OSes on their hardware.) Also the settings would have only been preserved in Classic, but that's to be expected I guess.
- tibbon 16y agoWonder if you could upgrade them, and then just rip out the hard drive and move it to another box. Wondering if 10.4 would be ok with one moment having a PPC and another moment having an intel processor.
