That's the one you need as a minimum for G4 computers. The earlier releases won't (or aren't supposed to) run on anything past a G3.

Correct.. i WOULD like to try it, however because of the totalitarian web TLS apocalypse, I wouldn't be able to browse the net on it.
Well, if you could find a port of Lynx or something similar, you could with the obvious restrictions. The problem with Rhapsody is that it is a very short-lived server and not a workstation, so that third party applications, particularly, those which aren't server additions are scanty.
Come to think of it, do they all have the same boot tomb version? Ones that shipped with OS 9 have a different boot rom than ones that shipped with 8.6. I’m not sure if that plays a difference with OS X Server, but it might be worth looking into.
I have the newer iBook which never officially supported Mac OS 8.6 (I have made it boot a few times but it’s highly unstable and unusable with the crashing turning the power off). Runs server fine, just no USB and sound support. Ethernet and everything else worked.
Yeah, I couldn't get sound to work, but I didn't try USB. I couldn't figure out how to get ethernet to work. I remember getting it to work on my old 9600 but I don't remember how, so I might be doing something wrong. I can't get Blue Box to boot, and I can't change the brightness on the display. I also found out it doesn't go to sleep when I shut the lid (found that out the hard way). I also have no idea how to eject the CD from the drive.
My computer is also a blueberry, and it's one of the OS 9 ones. I think I'm just gonna play around with the newer OS X Developer Previews instead. OS X Server 1.x can go back to my 9600.
The first post has screenshots of Intel Rhapsody (DP2) running in VMWare. When I do this, I only get black and white, but the screenshot is in color. How do you get color?
Also, I run into this extremely annoying bug where the cursor will randomly get stuck at the edges of the screen, and I have to shake my mouse for a long time to get it un-stuck. Did you run into that too?

You need a graphics driver called VMWareFB - this site has download links as well as a tutorial. Your mouse problem might be solved by the mouse driver also linked on the site. I don't remember unfortunately; it's been years since I've run Rhapsody in VMware.
I do recall my Apple menu becoming empty after installing these drivers. But then that was years ago and I can't remember exactly what happened or what I did.
As the Clamshells are not officially supported Apple servers, there are no Rhapsody drivers to support functions like the brightness keys etc. Servers, by their very nature, do not suspend to RAM. They are meant to run 24/7, so the lack of an S3 state in BIOSes on actual server hardware should come as no surprise. Your best bet is to make use of the S4 state and hibernate to disk but, again, servers are not workstations so it's like putting a round peg into a square hole.
As I could never make it work on a Clamshell, I'm not sure what the issue is regarding ejecting an optical disc. Presumably you just unmount it from the Workspace Manager and then press the eject button on the side. That's how I did it on my similarly unsupported PDQ.
The last PowerBook you can get it to work on with some limitations is the predecessor to the Pismo, the Lombard. It only gives 256 colours with the graphics card and will not work from a DVD drive. The 400Mhz Lombard got a DVD drive, the 333Mhz got a CD drive.
You can hack it onto a Pismo with some effort. It was reported on here so you can find it with a search.
It does server duties and was reasonably well thought of at the time for that. Right now, it's just a curio.
I bet when it came out it cost like 499.99 - actually I do remember compusa carried it when I bought my G4 350 in 2000.
On another topic, just installed an m2 Sata stick in my Pismo - TenFourFox opens really quick.
Just finished installing an mSATA SSD in my iBook and I look forward to installing Tiger on it and putting my 9 install back on
Question - so on my Pismo I have 2 separate partitions for Tiger and OS 9.2.2 - this is on a 7200 IDE drive. I want to copy over all this to the M2 msata stick - do I use carbon copy cloned for Tiger, or is there a better way ?
You can even use the Restore function in Disk Utility but the other two utilities mentioned, particularly SuperDuper, give more detailed feedback on the progress. My preference is for SuperDuper as that has always had a free version.
What about FireWire target disk mode ? I guess will any of these methods make them bootable still ?

Target disk mode ?
Cool.. I should remember how to do these things - most of my PowerPC knowledge was from early 2000-2010 - with intel Macs you tend to forget some things.
