Actually, compatible systems for Darwin include: * Power Macintosh 7300, 7600, 8500, 8600, 9500, 9600 * Power Macintosh G3 * PowerBook G3 (Wall Street) * Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) * Power Macintosh G4 * PowerBook G3 (bronze keyboard) * iBook * iMac The MacOSX/Darwin Bootloader has been pushed to the CVS repository recently and supports some Old and all New World Machines (mainly all 601/603 machines are unsupported).
