I ended up buying a sawtooth era G4 just for this purpose. As far as I can tell it's the last mac that can run anything, and it has the advantages of ADC, Gigabit ethernet and massive expandability.

They are one and the same.

The 10.1 and 10.2 CDs are currently being ignored/bypassed on reboot.

To use these OS's and Firewire, you will need a Mac of a certain Genre. The Blue and White G3 or the later G3 iMacs (2000-2001) will do both.

Unless you use Drawers or Metal Windows, just about everything you do with 10.4.x should work in 10.0 or 10.1.

One simple test is to build a Classic Build (OS9) of your app. If it works correctly, it's pretty well guaranteed to run in any OSX PEF build.

Why should one really concern themselves with !0.1 or 10.2?

a) Certain older G3's could only run up to 10.2 and, since 10.2 was offered free to educators, you may find this OS installed on older school computers.
b) You are using Drawers or Metal windows.
c) You are writing/using a plug-in or declares that might not work in those versions.

It's all well and good to concern yourself in a few cases but *most* of REALbasic takes care of many problems for you.
