I've been thinking... And that's always a dangerous thing.

Is it possible to run System 7 (7.5 or 7.6) on a beige G3?

I think it might be possible. The Disk Tools floppy that ships with the beige G3 has a system enabler for the G3. The DT floppy is a really stripped down OS 8 which means it requires a special enabler to run on the beige G3. Do you think it might be possible to install that enabler on a 7.6 system (installed on a 9600 or 8600 or perhaps with Wish I Were indicating the G3 is such a Mac) and boot the G3?

Any takers?

Peace,
Drew
