Hello Andreas, Thanks for your reply. I didn't mean for my email to come across as "calling you out or anything", it was just really hopeful thinking that someone had this working, and might be willing to share the install instructions.
I really haven't tried anything exotic to make this work. When Apple announced 10.7/Lion and announced Rosetta would no longer be included, I figured I better start picking up all the (Apple) boxes I wanted as I have many PPC apps and games that will never be ported to x86. I purchased my cube initially to run OS 9.x. In April 2011, I found a legal copy of OS X Server 1.2 server on Amazon.com, of all places. I tried a few things to make it work, but was non-successful. Later, I purchased an early G4 from the LEM list that was on the HCL and was still unsuccessful with 1.2. Today, my Server 1.2 box is sitting on my book shelf. I need to get motivated again, and come up with plan C !
