iMac G3 and PowerMac G3 (BW) - lowest MacOS version that it can run (without emulation)

2012-06-14 Thread doodsonj
Hi Team, I couldn't work out the best place to put this message, but thought here was most apt. I have an iMac G3 (Indigo) lying about - I was wondering what the earliest MacOS that I could install on that G3? I'd prefer going back to System 6 or Mac OS 7 (7.5.3 is available for download)

I can't conceive of running a G3 on any Mac OS before 8.6 (USB support) And actually OS 9.0/9.1 can be tuned to really fly. So why go even further back? I say this because I had a lot of stability issues with the 7s. On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 1:14 PM, doodsonj j.t.dood...@bath.ac.uk wrote: Hi
