Bear in mind the progression. With OS X PB, the beige powersurge machines were supported; with Cheetah and Puma that went, and it was only grudgingly with 10.1.5 that Apple reintroduced some missing support for older Rage chips. With Jag, non-G3s miss out, and non-Radeons miss out on QE. With Panther, Old World ROMs become unsupported. It's a perpetual war of attrition.
From the XPF posts, it's clear Ryan Rempel has met big problems getting built-in-vid working for Panther; Jag still won't run on pre-G3s.
It's against that background that discussions about compatibility - narrow or wide - take place. Whatever machines I currently have running OS X - supported or not - will one day be broken. I like to know what to expect in the future.
Whatever. Compliments of the season.

If there's nothing unsupported mac related to talk about, then why not just
talk about something mac related?
Sounds good to me. I'm a little tired of list nazi's on every mailing list
whining about off-topic discussions.
The titles were pretty clear. Just delete them.
Waaaaaaaaaaah!

OSX on unsupported machines.
Then when a question is posed that does belong on this list, no one
responds for several days if at all.
By all means, grab a cup of egg nog and continue your geek speak...
