I picked up a Apple PowerBook G3 & want to upgrade the OS.
It is currently OS9, I would like to upgrade to OSX if that is possible.
I have OSX 10.4 build, but I keep getting a message when I attempt to install the OS that this computer is not compatable with this version of Mac OS.

I had a gander at the apple site & the PowerBook G3 is listed as upgradable to OSX as long as it has Firewire.

Q1? How do I tell if this laptop is firewire ready?
Q2? If its not, are there any upgrades to OS9 that I can make?

Thanks for any help folks.
