I have made a first attempt, which ended not very promising. After copying all the XPostFacto-files to the partition intended for MacOS X, my brave Apus 3000 (= c600) restarted ... and did nothing more: No chime, the screen remained black, the IDE-Drive did not move, a forced restart was not possible, and so was resetting the PRAM. I pressed the CUDA-button for 30 seconds, and this brought the keyboard back into play and the computer chimed again. But nothing more. Finally, I removed the battery cable overnight, and the next morning, my Apus went back to live. I am willing to repeat this experiment with a totally stripped down bare bone system, but before I do remove all my expansions, I would like to know from Will or other knowledgeable people, if this can possibly work at all, as the computer refused to install OS X right from the beginning? My configuration was as follows: G3 300 Mhz Zif processor with 1 MB cache by phase5 144 MB EDO-RAM IBM IDE-drive NEC SCSI CD-ROM drive Philips SCSI CD-burner MP 750 PCI-Grafik card by Villagetronic USB-PCI card (No name) Thanks in advance, Nils -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
