[G4] 450 OSX question

[Loren Smedberg]

Back in the good ole day's I installed OS 7.1 P (for Performa) on a 
Powerbook 100 It worked perfectly, it originally came with system 6.0.7  
installed. I'm thinking that I must have gotten a real early edition of the 
powerbook because Mactracker claims that the 100's all came with 7.1 
preinstalled.
