Is there an early version of OS X that runs well on a Summer 2000 iMac 350?
Sure! Panther or even Tiger will run just fine. If yer memory poor, Panther might be better. If you do Tiger, disable things like the Spotlight indexing and Dashboard - they greatly slow down older Macs. Check the archives here and on our G3-5-List for lots of threads regarding all this.
And if so, is it still available to purchase?
LEM Swap list.
but the browsers that run in OS 9 are not that great.
An updated WaMCom Mozilla (aka Firefox) for OS 9: http://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/
would any version of OS X that runs on this iMac be too old to run good browsers?
The choices for Panther and earlier are pretty sparse. But if you update to Tiger, you can run all sorts of browsers. Safari 4, Firefox, etc. Even Firefox 4!
