I'm working on a G3 (one of the ones that looks like a bubble) and find
that it too is pretty much limited to what it can be upgraded with.

It currently has OS 9.0.

I want to build wifi (w/WPA) support for it.  The AirportAir only supports
WEP and there are no guarantees that it would work with non-Apple routers.

But the only products that support wifi (with WPA) properly require OSX.

In order to get OSX, I need a bios update.

A bios update will only work with OS 9.2 or greater.

The installer for the 9.2 bios update requires a program similar to unzip. 
The original package unarchiver on the mac seems to be missing.  So, I
can't even install an upgrade unless I can accomplish a simple unarchive
task!

Alan is sending me pre-unarchived packages on disc. Hopefully that will
solve the problem.

But.. what a nuisance this whole thing is even with the OS 9.2 minimum requirement!

What configuration/specs are you getting?
