I can answer the G3 support question. yes llepherd will support G3 systems
with USB support. in fact lets clarify this as well. I'm here in the UK and can
obtain a legal copy of OS 10.4.7 through apple UK through contacting their
tech department. you can do the same and believe me you can.
though it is said that apple hardware is the only interface it will license
to. as long as it is an intel or core substitute then the OS will work. the
way in which the software is designed with intel and PowerPC architecture is
it relies on two levels which are detected upon by the OS when installed to
the base or notebook in question.
you can also with a technical knowledge needed run older operating systems
on a windows based system as my experience tells me. however it takes a
knowledge of hex editing, partition editing and zero sector modification
including
the MBR master boot record
anyhow I'm surprised with people not catching on to this but anyhow.
I only run mac on a windows platform as I'm not at present willing to move
to a full mac and waste finances when the operating systems concerned need a
lot of support and development for specific products like Apple's Logic Pro,
DigiDesign Pro-Tools and Microsoft Office, etc. so see my point?
I've worked on 4 major platforms in my life. Windows (all versions, Mac,
Unix and Linux
no matter what someone says I always want to see pure proof before I invest.
its good business sense lol
sorry to be funny
