I guess knowing what anything and it are would be helpful.

I've downloaded lots of things and none of them (or Mac OS 8.1 for that matter) has told me I need a newer version.

Any specifics would be great here.

yes again, what are you trying to download? and the only way to get newer os is to buy it. ebay would be a good place to look.

Which "g3" notebook are we talking about here? The "Kanga" shipped with Mac OS 7.6, and should have no complaints under OS 8.1. "Wallstreet" (series I & II) were next, and shipped with OS 8 and OS 8.1, respectively. Neither of those should complain about OS 8.1 either. If it's a "Lombard" or later, then I'd be curious to know how OS 8.1 came to be on it since the Lombard shipped with OS 8.6 (and very likely will NOT run well on an earlier OS).
