Generally true, as Apple often had to rewrite the OS a bit for models with new ROM functions as they came out, but not necessarily. Also, models that had a long production run may have actually come in their boxes with later OSes. However, if the original post was about an original beige G3, as with the example you gave (I forget now), then it is in fact the case that OS 8 is the 1st OS that runs on it. -- Bill Art page: <http://geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
