It's not that easy to make drivers for graphics cards. Especially the voodoo2. It'll only do fullsreen rendering, and that's not really the OSX way. Someone may eventuall port Glide, but I wouldn't bet on any OpenGL drivers.

I can't even get the internal floppy drive in my beige G3 to work.

My Mac does exactly the same thing as yours and I've got the original CD to install with. You're not alone with this. --------------------------- Beige G3/266Mhz -> 300Mhz 128MB RAM 2x4GB HDs (both IDE and on separate buses) Original Rage Pro graphics chipset Rev B ROM MacOS 8.1

I've added an extra HD and a voodoo 3 to my machine as well as overclocking the CPU to 300MHz. I've tried the installation without my voodoo card and without the extra HD. I've also partitioned the first drive appropriately. Hadn't thought of putting my CPU clock speed down again though. I'll...

I've been trying to get OSX beta to install on my RevB beige G3/266. But when I restart with 'c' held on it whirs a bit, shows the happy Mac icon, then restarts. But that's not all. It appears to play around inside my Mac so it doesn't see my 2nd HD any more. (Fixed this prob now though)...
