This is on topic, since 9.1 will run on any Power Mac. Apple has now offered
OS 9.1 for free download. And no, it's not a joke.

Unfortunately this looks like only an update not the full version, so
it requires you to have mac os 9 allready installed.

Benjamin from the CD is limited to the point of being useless,
but the upgrade
installs a full OS9.1.
I don't consider MacOS 9 on-topic, though. The only on-topic PPC
hardware I have is a POWER 1 RS/6000 system. My interesting Macs are a
pair of SE/30's, and a Mac IIfx that came (from an auction) with Nu-Bus
data acquisition and IEE-488 cards, and vintage Labview on the hard
drive (thanks, Purdue!).
Is anybody trying to collect a complete set of ALL the Mac hardware?
There is a tremendous variety from the middle years.

Hans Franke is well on his way thanks to me. I've got a LOT of random Mac
models. Lots of lame Performa and nicer PowerPC models. If anyone wants
to attempt to collect their own complete line of Macs then let me know. I
get them in all the time, from the earliest to the latest (more in the
hump of the "bathtub curve" though.

I like collecting 68k Mac nubus cards (sound, scsi, video, video capture,
network, etc) so if you find any you don't want let me know.

I gave Chris maybe 8 ~ 12 unique models IIRC. Sometime later he had
a crash of storage space... I have almost no idea how many he kept.

Somebody just gave me my first G3. Very good looking machine.
Even has that prominent DEC chip (21154 PCI) to look at. Can't wait
to load something on it.

I think yours must be a 266, purely because I've got a 233 that's sluggish
even with (I think) 384mb RAM and OS9. One of my customers has some 266s
on the shelf and they seem much quicker for some reason, even with less
memory.
I wouldn't mind sticking OSX on mine just to see how it runs!

This is not news, and you haven't read the page thoroughly.
MacOS 9.1 has *ALWAYS* been a free download. However, it's an update:
you need MacOS 9.0x to upgrade. It's not a standalone OS. 9.0.4 is
also free, as is 9.2.1 and 9.2.2.
8.6 is also free for owners of 8.5, which costs.
8.1 is free for owners of 8.0, which costs.
7.6.1 is free for owners of 7.6, which costs.
7.5.5 is free as are all previous versions. It is the last and latest
version of the Mac System that Apple has made freely available.

Actually, you can't -- XP contains Pentium-specific instructions that lock up
486s and earlier. (ducking)
I *do* run FreeBSD on my 386 w/8MB of RAM, however.
