Re: Panther support on beige G3

[David Rostenne]

"built in usb" is actually not the real reason, which is even 
simpler: the version of the firmware is too old, and not upgradeable. 
If you have ever looked into running Linux on a beige G3, which I am 
in the middle of doing, you will discover that it is the last machine 
considered 'OldWorld' before the 'NewWorld' macs came out. All sort 
of hassles to get the bootloader and much more to work. Ask Google 
about Open Firmware and Beige G3's.

So, to kill the speculation: It is not about the USB!

cheers!
