Hi Erik,

I'm no expert (nor all-knowing! :-), but it was my understanding that:
	OS 10.5 killed Classic due to loss of OS support for it,
	and Intel processors killed Classic do to the CPU,
but if it will run OS 10.4.11 _and_ has a Motorola processor, it will  
be fine.

But I have no direct experience and have only kept track from some  
distance.  If there are late-model motorola G5 Macs that cannot run  
Classic (with OS 10.4.11), it is news to me, and would be most  
interesting, as I've considered upgrading to something like that.   
(800 MHz G4 is sometimes a bit slow! :-)

Best of luck, and let us hear.

	Ben Andrus
