Someone a while back reported the same thing with a beige G3. I will be
finding out soon for myself. I have a copy of Jaguar on the way that I
will be installing on my Beige 333 tower, and my B&W 350 that both
currently run 10.1.5. Then I'll put NewTen on the Beige and see what
happens! I've already got a Keyspan for the B&W.
