Iesca Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Which iMac G3 do you have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iMac G3 fan Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 it's a 350mhz with a slot cd drive, no firewire port. i've upgraded the hard disk and the memory is 512 (i believe maximum) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iMac G3 fan Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 I've even tried rebooting pressing down on the "c" key, the dvd drive doesnt show in the boot choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matthew28845 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 CD versions of Tiger exist. That would probably be the only way to get Tiger onto your machine, considering it has no FireWire and I'm pretty sure is actually too old to boot from USB at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
