A good site to find minimum and maximum systems is http://www.apple-history.comIn general, your system will not boot with anything less than what it came with (in this case, Panther)
Since this a common issue in software test, I would like to know how developers here test your applications that is targeted to an older OS version? Do you always keep an old Macintosh computer for testing purpose? If so, may I know which Macintosh model (G3, G4?) would be the best for running major releases of Jaguar (Mac OS 10.2.0 ~ 10.2.8)?
Yes, we (my company) keep a bunch of old Macs around for exactly that purpose.
Personally, I have a beige G3 for 10.2, as it not only runs that OS, but is the absolut minimum (officially supported) hardware you will encounter with that system. I can not tell you what the best system for you is, but again, www.apple-history.com will be a helpful resource in finding out which machines will run what OS.
