(Had to delete the word from my subject line; not a classy word.)
Concerning OS X, like others I'm running 10.2.8 on a 5-year-old B&W G3. It's great. It recognizes my no-name USB/Firewire combo card along with an Adaptec 2930 SCSI card. I'm looking forward to getting all-OS X-compatible software so I won't have to fool with Classic.
Remove the stuff they told you to, Tom, and put it back one at a time. It's not that hard and you'll probably find the source of your frustrations. It will be worth it.

Ain't it great? Apple brags about the computer it wants to sell you, tells
you how many PCI slots it has and how much memory it will hold. So you buy
it (G-4) and put in a few PCI cards (USB, SCSI, video) and max out the RAM
(1500 gigs), and then you try to install OS X on it, and and you get
nothing but hang-ups, gray screens, and "kernel panics."
