I work for the csee department here and we have tons of hardware laying around including some old powermac 7500 and a quadra something or another. Im pretty sure we have some hardware laying around somewhere that will have hardware that is supported by X86 darwin, otherwise I think Im going to try to install on the powermac or quadra(no clue what this is) but I hear that installing on oldworld powermacs is a bitch and I would rather do it on the plentiful x86 hardware we have here. -- Scott Henson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
