Not a chance. BeOS for PPC doesn't work on anything that originally shipped with a G3 processor in a ZIF socket or soldered to the motherboard. It will work on G3 *upgraded* Macs and clones, but not on genuine G3 systems with PC66 or PC100 RAM.

I've always wanted a BeOS PowerBook, but it doesn't boot on my 3400c, so I suppose I'm out of luck. For the record, I have BeOS PR1, BeOS R4, BeOS R4.5, and BeOS R5.0.2. All are great, but they have no application support, and without a modern browser, they are pretty useless to me for anything other than nostalgia.

Peace,

Drew
