everything i'e read about BeOS suggests it wont boot at all on any G3 or higher processor, even if the extension is loaded before the beos launcher, it wont make any difference, as the beos boot system willl not make any use of macos extensions. unfortunately you'll probably have to put an older cpu in there to run BeOS
incidentally, i've never run it on a mac, only a pc, is it worth puttin on this 8600 i still have doing not a lot?
