With XPostFacto you can install 10.4. An HD greater than 128 Gb WILL work but you can only format it up to 128Gb unless you use either the firmware patch or the driver software. This is important as these days it's getting harder to find plain old IDE harddrives so something like a 160 Gb drive may be an option. > > On Jul 26, 2:46 pm, Jasiu <[email protected]> wrote: >> My father just gave me a teal colored 233 Mhz G3 Imac.
