I don't have OS X running on my Wallstreets, but there are plenty of 
people who DO have it running and running very successfully according to 
posts I read on the GBooks list.  To see a full photo (not just a screen 
capture) of a stock 233 megahertz Wallstreet running OS X, go here:

Whoever told you that the 233 Wallstreet could not run anything higher 
than OS 9 is just plain wrong.  It meets the requirements since it has a 
G3 processor.  But you will have to have enough memory and partition your 
hard drive to install OS X on a Wallstreet.  You would definitely have to 
add more memory to the 64 megs you currently have.

You can also get a USB PCMCIA card for it if you have USB devices.
