It would be great if someone could tell me where i could download a dmg of Mac OS X 10.0. (the first OS X) I'm trying to use this for my ol' Bondi Blue iMac G3. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

thanks for responding. Well, i have a 10.2 and i just got a 10.1. The reason i'm looking for a 10.0 is because i have an iMac bondi blue (orginal: tray load, 233mhz, 64mb ram) It doesn't run well at all with 10.2 and is still rather slow with 10.1. i figure that if i could find a 10.0, it would run just fine. I'm just toying around with the old peice of junk though. I'm not in any hurry, if you can find one, email me the link. thanks
Ah well, no biggie; i'll probably end up putting os 9 or something like that anyways. this is just for my own nerdy fun.
If you want it to do anything you'll have to use 9 anyway. All 10.0 does is sit there and look pretty.
Well, if you're willing to do a little bit of case work, I believe even the old Bondi Blue iMacs will max out at 1GB of RAM (but you really have to work to get at both RAM modules). While you're in there, you could put in even a smaller-than-120GB modern 7200RPM HDD, and I believe there's even adapters kicking around online pretty cheap for the original Airport cards. I can't recall offhand if it was possible with the Bondi Blues or the next release, but someone was also selling a new port setup for them that added a firewire port as well.
I've had the old Bondi Blues running Panther fine, though. Maxing the RAM is key, though adding a modern HDD would also help.
Have fun, though whatever you opt to put on it. OS9 on the Bondi Blues with enough RAM was very fast.

i wouldnt think its worth it on a tray loading maybe on a 400mhz and up slot loading imac
hmm interesting the only thing i could find was 10.2 ill recommend to get $5 and buy a 128mb stick and through 10.1 or 10.2 sorry i tried
is it that cheap to get a 128 stick for an imac g3 bondi blue? if it is only $5, i mite go to ebay and get a stick.
well here on a used site people are sselling 128's for 5 bucks maybe you can find cheaper on ebay... but i thought 10.0 needed 128 mb of ram to run anyway it says on my book thing but what kind of ram does it take?
Yup, I would max out the ram (cheap) and put at least 10.1, 10.2 would be even better....
