I cannot understand how one can install Panther (or Tiger) on a Power Mac 7500, 7600, 7300, 8500, 8600, 9500, 9600 and related clones, but Beige G3s, which were actually supported by OS X up to 10.2.8, are so darn troublesome. Weird.
I've had three G3s and it never occurred to me to make the OS X installation attempt. Never tried with or without XPostfacto, I simply stuck with OS 9. Mostly on account of not having enough RAM, but now I'm itching to try. I wonder what the hold up is, I can even get my G3 upgraded Power Mac 7600 and IXMicro Twin Turbo to work with Panther. Go figure, since the IXMicro's are particularly troublesome.
