My understanding is that Apple closed off the boot process to Be with the G3 thus starting Be's move to the x86 platform. I have been running BeOS on my Daystar Genesis MP800. It runs rings around my BeBox.

I have a G3-500 and a G4-800 card that I could slide in and see if it runs. Not that will help you with you B&W G3. My Daystars and several other Tsunami based clones (PTP, S900, etc) are the most modern Mac's I own.

Is it possible to get hold of recent versions of the BeOS for the PPC ?

Up until 2001/2 I had every (!!) release of the OS in original
from the very first preview release, and loads of software, but
I ended up throwing it away when Palm bought Be and it was
all over, and now I wish I'd kept it...   :^(

Oh, the horror!

Purplus Software seems to be the most dependable supply of BeOS 5 Pro and PR 4.5:

So what is the general consensus, will Be run on a G3? I have the v5.03 CD, but I'd have to do some constructive partitioning to try it. If it won't run on my B&W there is not much sense in doing that.

Just a message from Doug...
