I used Ryan Remple's XpOSFacto utility to install OS X 10.1.4, and it runs well. With
an Apple G3 400 upgrade and plenty of memory. OS X likes RAM you cannot put in too
much.
My only OS X anomaly is an extra beach ball. It sits quietly spinning in the upper
left corner of the screen at all times. Does not affect any programs or functions at
anytime. The "normal" beach ball" appears and functions as expected.
A couple of lot smarter folks than me have hypothesized that the video card is the
cause of this? However, since everything otherwise works great, it's a real low
priority
problem. <G>

I have one of the AllMac upgrades. Been running it for about 14 months now and it's
been very satisfactory. The upgraded PTP is not as fast as my daughters G4, but it is a
significant improvement over the original PowerPC.
When I added the OS X there were some problems with HD drivers. (I had FWB and
Anubis), Switched to Intech's HDST and that problem was solved.
