    Backporting HFS+ to Mac OS 8.0 and earlier

    System 7 (and OS 8) natively boots on the Mac mini G4!

    Thanks @MBongo for making the thread, I was finally able to get past the registration and login duration woes here, so now I'm finally able to participate here, as well. (Just not from native Mac OS, as the website causes the browser, and even OS, to crash on Classilla, despite Crypto Ancienne...
