[X-HW] upgrade questions

[John Wilson]

Hi Aranzazu (and others). There are some iMac G3's that still require 
the "smaller than 8 gig rule." This is from Apple's support docs:

Products affected

Certain Macintosh computers that originally had a hard drive smaller 
than 8 GB and have subsequently been upgraded with a hard drive larger 
than 8 GB. The list includes:
	▪ 	iMac 233 MHz
	▪ 	iMac 266 MHz
	▪ 	iMac 333 MHz
	▪ 	Power Macintosh G3 Desktop
	▪ 	Power Macintosh G3 Mini Tower
	▪ 	Power Macintosh G3 All-In-One
	▪ 	PowerBook G3 Series

Thanks, John
