    Looking for a copy of Mac OS X Server 1.0

    Hello guys. I have a PowerBook 3400c with 200MHz, 144MB Ram & 4 GB of CF storage. I read somewhere that this machine can run the very first server edition of Mac OS X. Does anyone have a copy you might want to sell? I don't need a retail box (though if you still have it, will be nice).
