Definitive Mac G4 list of supported model numbers?

[mingle]

Hi,

I'm looking at picking up a Mac G4 on which to give MorphOS 2.6 a try, but I'm a bit stumped as to what model I should be looking at.

The MorphOS website mentions Power Macs 3,1 3,2 3,3 3,4 3,5 & 3,6, but how does this correspond to actual Apple Model numbers?

I'm a little confused and don't want to end up buying something that won't work.

Any help or pointers to lists, etc, would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Mike.

I'm not certain, but I believe the supported hardware is something like...

any G4 Mac mini
any G4 tower
1.25GHz or 1.42Ghz eMac

The 1.42GHz eMac is not officially supported, but as far as I can tell, it's identical to the 1.25GHz model in everything except clock speed.

An easier way to look at this (w/o using model #s).

1) All G4 Mac Minis.
2) 1.25 Ghz eMacs* with Radeon 9200 graphics (some educational models and all 1.42 Ghz models use Radeon 9600 - may work, but no 3D support) *Please note that there also is a 1.0 GHz variant of this model that was released exclusively to education.
3) All G4 AGP Powermacs (with a supported Apple video card or a supported video card that has been re-flashed with an Apple BIOS).

Hi folks - first time I've posted here in over six months so apologies if I'm somewhat behind the curve.

Are G4 iBooks ever likely to be supported?

They're not saying much, but hints suggest no. Not sure why, though - the last of the G4 iBooks are nearly identical to the PowerBooks they're supporting.

Unless if you happen to have a spare Realtek RTL8139C network card.
