I know we had a terrible time with 10.0 and the early iterations of 10.1 (I only got up to 10.1.2 before I sold my G3) with exactly the Kernel Traps James S Jones described later in his post. I found out they were related to the USB bus on the B&W G3 and it's funkyness. I used to use several USB devices on a hub on my old B&W and it would consistently crash like a plane with no wings when I unplugged the hub. I just stopped unplugging stuff in the end but was a bit hampered by the fact I was sharing my USB keyboard between my PC and my G3.
I know the FireWire ports can occasionally be funky on a B&W as well as the old Rev 1 ATA bug so I am lead to believe the logic board had several flaws in. I am even, god forbid, lead to believe that the relatively short life of the G3 B&W was due to the fact it was really an active test bed for the G4s - what a horrid thing to say ;). -- -- Mark Benson Any spelling errors are attributed to PEBKAC Vintage Macs List Nanny SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
