That's helpful. Thanks.
I had wondered about the question recently, as I have a spare Pismo 400 here that I thought I might have lightly tarted up and donated to a relative with an installation of X.4, but I think I'll think again. Currently it has Linux (MintPPC) on it, with 512MB RAM and a 30MB drive, but Linux is a bit unfamiliar to me, never mind the relative. The need for both RAM and processor together, however, would make upgrading the thing to be a viable Tiger machine an expensive proposition. Methinks not. I'll probably keep it, and keep Linux on it, as Mint is fast enough on it, and it's not a bad machine to tinker with as such.
My other Pismo (500) has a mere 256MB RAM in it, but it runs Mac OS 9.2 and a range of classic applications, so that 256 MB is plenty. It has gotten regular, intensive use for the past two or three years at the office, where niche applications and hardware are still put to good use.
