PTP250 with [EMAIL PROTECTED], IX Micro TT128 8MB graphics and OS x 10.2 here, it
does everything waay better than OS 9 did. Its faster, smoother,
multitasks waaay better and you can get modern software for it. Now all
i need is a PCI Radeon 9200 and a SATA card :-D
Not with the original processor. I used it on a PTP with 400 MHz G3
ZIF in it with 10.1.5 through 10.2.6 it worked fine. The XpOSfacto
forums are great, never had a support issue that I couldn't find a
ready solution for.
Successes?
Worked fine for me. The old PTP was pretty much maxed out, 1028 RAM,
three HD's CD RW and added USB and Firewire cards. Everything worked
Failures?
Only that the on board floppy becomes decorative with OS X. I just
used an external USB floppy and that worked fine.
I have a PowerComputing Powerbase 200 with a 200Ghz processor running
OS 7.6.1 and a 15" G4 PB running 10.3.6 and am considering the upgrade.
Holy Crap!! 200GHz??!! I bet OS 7.6 just SCREAMS!! I'm kidding here,
I know you meant MHz as in Megahertz. I just couldn't resist..
Thoughts? Advice?
Can't beat the price. Try it. You can always reformat the drive and
put 7.6.1 back on if you chose,

Yes, this is the Cadillac in terms of the 'poor man's Powermac' ..
