No, the BeOS is not compatible with Apple's "G3" systems. We have requested from Apple the detailed technical specifications we would need to provide support for these systems, and Apple has declined our requests. Without this technical information, it is unlikely or impossible for us to support the new hardware.

What about systems sold in Europe or the Far East, like the 8200?

Will the BeOS run on systems with PowerPC 750 ("G3") upgrade cards?
