I liberated a Power Mac G3 (beige Gossamer) from the dumpster - it's fully tricked out! 768MB RAM, 300MHz G3, 6.4GB hard disk,OS X 10.4, first boot went into 9.1 classic.

I added a DVD-ROM drive after pulling the mounting sled from a Performa 6300CD.

I'm thinking about ghosting (if this is possible with HFS) to a larger drive (possibly 30GB or higher).

Also, any suggestions on what I could use to accomplish above goal, if it's not a unreasonable goal to set...

Question - what's the last processor generation that still had the 68K emulation (or is abstraction a better word?)

I remember that the 601s didn't require the use of fat binaries, but I don't know if that continued into the G3s and AltiVec G4s.

Also, when did they discontinue classic boot capabilities into OS 9?

Please advise. Thanks!
