[G4] 450 OSX question

[Robert MacLeay]

One key bit of "architecture" which no one has mentioned is your optical
drive.

Not all 450 MHz G4 towers came with DVD drives; CD was standard and DVD was
an extra cost option when I bought my Sawtooth.

I can guarantee you the Mini's DVD install disk cannot be read by a CD-ROM
drive.
