G3 Pismo OS X system will boot G4 Desktop
« on: November 18, 2008, 08:19:18 PM »
I have a G4 desktop running OS 9.2 & OS X on separate partitions, and a G3 Pismo laptop running Tiger.

Today I was backing up to an external (firewire connected) hard drive. After I make a backup copy, I always check that the backup drive will boot.  Out of curiosity, I selected the Pismo partition to startup on my G4. I was surprised that it booted on the G4.

Not sure if this info is useful for anything, but I thought I would pass it on.
Cheers, Tom

Since Tiger is supported on the Pismo as well as all native G4s, it should boot regardless of the hard drive source.  wink.gif
