    Mac OS X Server 1.2v3 on Lombard Powerbook G3

    Hi all, If any open firmware experts could help me out, I'd really appreciate it... I'm trying to get Mac OS X Server 1.2v3 working on a PowerBook G3 Lombard. I can't seem to get around the 256 color limit. I believe this weird GPU incompatibility is also causing Blue Box not to "run" - I just...

    Advice: Best PowerBook G3?

    I have an opportunity to pick up a PowerBook G3 (266MHz PDQ) in good condition with charger for around 60 bucks.
