Hi... I have a G3 blue Smurf upgraded to a 400 Mhz G4 chip... ran Tiger just fine with 512 MB RAM... even better with 768 MB... But I've been advised by a knowledgeable person (on this very list) that G3s can (sadly!) NEVER boot from, or use FireWire, in Target Disk mode (or any other?) due to their internal motherboard architecture. Wouldn't this be the real reason for Steve's G3 'no-go' situation?
