Yeah, but a 400mhz IBM PPC is what, the IBM equivalent of a G3? I've
got an old RS/6000 with 128mb RAM that I need to get a drive for one
of these days so I can play with AIX. You can't beat a system that
has 128mb RAM through 1mb and 8mb sticks. :)

My RS/6000 ran fine with MacOSX but it has a PPC at 400 I think and tons of
RAM. You could always toss a spare drive into the machine and try it. If it
doesn't work toss the old drive in and go back to where you where. Your
machine probably runs SCSI anyway, easy enough to find cheaply. My server
runs almost 2 terrbaytes of SCSI drives in RAID, got them all surplus.

I assume you mean "G3 or better"? I have an older system that's a PowerPC -- 75mhz. Something tells me, other than the fact that I know the minimum requirement is a G3, that it's not going to boot up in there if I grab the CDs from work and try to install. ;)
