Sorry to say, but Panther is not supported on Beige G3's. According to
Apple, Panther is only supported on machines with built in USB, so the
only version of X that will (officially) run on the Beige G3 is Jaguar.
That being said, visit OWC's web site (otherworldcomputing.com), and
read up there on OS X on unsupported machines using XPostFacto. Ryan is
working on a version of XPF that will allow Panther to run on the Beige
G3, but last I heard there was still problems with the video. May have
been fixed by now tho....
