Official support is for Beige G3's and higher. The first DT/MT G3's were 233MHz.
Catfish_Man I have this same problem w/my S900 (based of Tsunami mobo architecture). It seems to be random. I have paid close attention to the shutdown procedure and I can't find a reason why it does this.
My computer hangs after the dock dissapears and the screen goes to blue but before the spinning rainbow cursor. All that appears is the mouse and a blue screen. I still have control over my mouse, but nothing happens for like 30sec. Then once it decides it wants to shut down, I see the rainbow cursor again and 2sec later (bleewww...as my Delta fan whines down)
Is this the same thing that happens to you? Normally my computer shuts down from X in like 3sec, but occasionally it will misbehave. But I asked for it by building this system.
I haven't had much experience with shutting down X on a supported machine, since I had my B&W at work up for 53 days straight (until the power went out
), so I don't know if this occurs periodically on a supported machine.
But with all the variables in my system (and probably yours too), it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint this. But it only happens randomly, so I don't really care that much.
Hope this helps
