Go on EBAY and buy an old USB 1.1 flashdrive, load up an OS on it, take out imac g4s normal hard drive, and voila, that's how I would do it.

Ah you have to take out HD, and has to be an old flash drive?

THat's my guess and what I would do.

But arent flashdrives backwards compatible though? Idk.

Possibly. Tho I could imagine the os being slow on 1.1
