    A bit more than that – I did the installation in a PC running a VMware machine of OS X, but you also have to add in a lot of kexts needed to support the Beige G3’s hardware and make it bootable, run a firmware script to disable the machine’s onboard graphics as they make it freeze, etc – see the complete guide linked to in the video information (top right) for the full details of what you have to do to make Leo run on the Beige.

    so you took the HD from the old mac, put it in a new one, installed leopard, and before booting again you powered the computer off, moved the HD back to the old mac, and booted it.

    The main challenge with this Mac is making Leopard happy with its 11 year old architecture that hasnt been supported in OS X since version 10. 2 Jaguar you have to do the installation using a more compatible machine as the Leopard DVD wont boot on it, and then ad a whole load of kexts etc to it to make it run, but once its working it runs very well on this old Mac.

    It doesnt have to be 867 MHz any G4 processor will run Leopard fine, Apple just put a script in the Installer that makes it refuse to install with a slower G4 but that is very easily circumvented.

    @xxspeedxmetalxx I belive he upgraded the processor from a PowerPC g3 to a PowerPC g4 1Ghz one that would explain why it works because leopard needs a 867 MHz processor at least a g4 PowerPC he also upgraded the ram and graphics card to run leopard I hope this answers your question

    Dude, those integrated speakers have kick-major-ass bass, and have good quality.

    There’s a link in the video description (top right) to a full guide to how it is done, complete with all the files required for a successful installation

    yes! i do believe this qualifies as an “Apple-labeled computer”, no matter how you interpret that term.

    As far as I know the Zip drive will work in OS X, if that is what you are asking (I don’t have one in mine though)

    @BeigeG3
    What about floppy based drives such as ZIP drives. Please reply quickly.
    Mine came with a zip drive.

    If apple bargs in,tell them the license agreement says that you can only run leopard on mac hardware,but it is mac hardware!

    That’s So cool.

    eBay would be the best place to look, the one I have is a Sonnet Encore 1 GHz G4 but there are also cheaper 500 Mhz versions available.

    By the way, with the G3 processor you can go up to OS X 10. 4 (Tiger), not just 10. 3

  • BeigeG3
    Březen 11th, 2010 on 5.31

    Yes, in combination with some kexts taken from Tiger and pre-release versions of Leopard.

    Thanks. I want to get a Power Macintosh G3 (Or a IMac G3) and replace the Hard disk with a SSD.

    Yes, newer Macs all use IDE drives (only the older ones used SCSI drives)

  • WINANDMACNERD
    Březen 11th, 2010 on 8.55

    Dose this Macintosh use ATA (IDE) drives. Please reply quickly.
