Where can I get early OS X for a G3 powerbook?

I have an old G3 powerbook 266 (wallstreet I think - not bronze keyboard). I want to get an older OS X operating system for it but, in spite of hunting through support and the apple store, can't find one. The maximum it can take I think is 10.2.8. I know none of them would be that quick on such an old machine - so which version would be recommended as the most suitable? The machine will be for my son as a supplement to his eMac - so that he can do some school work (inc word/Photoshop/illustrator) on the move.
Thanks
G3 Powerbook 266mhz   Mac OS 9.1.x  

Steuart,
You are in the UK so all I have are US sites. Make sure you get 10.2 or 10.3 or 10.4 on CDs, not DVDs unless you have the rare DVD-ROM drive. Do you have an eBay over there?

  • Where can I get the .wand files for Magic GarageBand?

    This is from an earlier post I made...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2477932&tstart=0
    I know what the problem is now. The "Magic GarageBand" folder that I have is for the older version of GarageBand and the newer one must of been deleted from an update.
    The folder is stored here

    Where can I get a roller mouse for a "sunflower" iMac?

    I believe that by the time the "Flower Power" and "Blue Dalmation" G3 models were released, the Apple Pro (optical) mouse was included, instead of the round (roller ball) mouse that shipped with earlier models.  The Pro mouse was seriously flawed by its flimsy cable and lack of a strain relief, to minimize stress on the cable from repetitious flexing where it exits the mouse.  Unless you're attempting to restore it to its original configuration, I would suggest buying a third-party USB mouse with a better cable design.

    Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.

  • Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    You should look for an Epson Stylus Color 740 or the higher-end 900 or 980, which are about 12 years old now.  All have USB connectivity, and while the 900/980 is a better/faster printer, it's harder to find the ink tanks for it at the usual office supply stores.  Ink tanks for the 740 series seem to be more readily available, without a special order.  There were Mac versions of these printers (the 740i and 900i), with blue/ice housings that were color-keyed to match the fruit-colored "blueberry" iMac and Blue & White G3 mini-tower.  There was no Epson printer that was color-keyed to the original Bondi Blue iMacs.

    Mac 101: Printing (OS X Lion)
    Important:
    Your OS X Lion system will either have the necessary printing software already installed, or it will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper.  Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
