You have the Powerbook G3 Series M4753 without USB and FireWire ports; this 'book is also known as the 'Wallstreet'. It originally shipped with a special OS 8.1, then later with OS 8.5.1.
I would head over the Powerbook G3 Discussions > Using Your Powerbook G3 where there are many threads discussing installing OSX on this model.

Here are just a few threads to get started:

If yopu have any questions, post in the Powerbook G3 Forums. -

DesktopsThe predecessor of the Dock was the Launcher Control panel, which can be set to open at startup. It can have as many as 8 panes with single-click buttons to select the panes, and can be made long and skinny or short and fat and placed anywhere on screen, including along the bottom of the screen.
Panes are created by putting a folder starting with option-8 (bullet character) into the Launcher Items Folder in the System Folder, such as •Utilities. Then Items to be added can just be dragged to the current pane in the Launcher window to be installed there, Option-dragged to remove. I also added an Alias of Launcher to my Apple Menu Items Folder so that I could bring Launcher to the front using the Apple Menu.
