These are not PPC machines and need "68K" code. However, I haven't seen such a thing for years, except in a don't-drop-oldtimers-section in my company. However, we keep them, but we don't use them. When Apple changed to PPC, the G3 was not the first PPC-cpu. I still use some pre-G3-PPC-machines under linux for networking tasks. "Fat Binaries" include splitted 68K code and PPC code. The do not contain splittet code for PPC<G3 and PPC>=G3. Apple has used that technology multiple times since then. Later there was i.e. a Version of Photoshop, that run under OS 9 and OS X, the same executable. And in the future there will be PPC/Intel combinations.
