I hadn't actually tried the IBM JVM for PPC - the only link I'd seen for
it pointed to some SuSE site. I am, however, running 2.4.17-benh0 on
this iBook, so I guess if you experience is correct, it wouldn't work on
here anyhow. Also, did it come with an OJI Java plugin for use with
Mozilla? (I'd bet not.)

Well, I don't run too much Java stuff, so it's been sort of a non-issue.
I'm sure a JIT for the PPC would speed things up a lot, but the lack of
it hasn't been a real issue for me, for the most part.
