OT: G4 Upgrade Help

[Mike Tweedie]

Off Topic... But y'all are so smart ;)

I have upgrade an old G3 DT for my mother, and recently got a copy of
Panther and an OWC G4/533 for this machine.

I've got everything running fine under OSX.2.8, but when I try to install
Panther, it says that the machine is not supported. Logic then demands I try
XPostFacto.....

Well, here's my trouble. The machine boots to the grey screen, but then I
get a circle with a line through it, then it just sits there, looking kinda
sad.

Reboot, add verbose mode and extra diagnostics via XPF, but still same
result. Will Panther run on this machine?

Help!

Thanks...
Mike
