you should pull the PRAM batteries out of those. they tend to explode and leak all over the place if stored for too long, especially somewhere hot.

im pretty sure my 7th year of life i ate only potatoes only because my dad bought a mac

when i was like 12 or 13 my dad told my mom we couldn't afford school supplies, turns out what he didn't tell her is it was because he was blowing a lot of money into trying to build a scale steam locomotive.

got this working in basilisk ii, although rescue 1.6 is buttery-smooth while 2.0.5 has a much, much choppier frame-rate - is this just the way 2.0.5 is or do i need to emulate a faster mac?

seems smooth to me in sheep shaver but i seem to remember a long time ago in a discussion group somewhere that the author was either still fine tuning his quickdraw calls or had abandoned direct writes to the screen or something

just out of curiousity, would pearpc running an old os x with classic be any faster or is that not possible?

Now a small setback. The 3GB panther image from the Athlon doesn't work. More accurately, it just doesn't fit on the filesystem, 2GB file limit and failure!.

Back to the athlon to create a smaller one - 1.5GB just to keep copying times low (1.5GB across 10baseT isn't fun, it's less fun when you've just tried to copy 3GB across twice and had it fail. That's more learning to be patient). That install went smoothly.

<center>Then at 9pm on Monday 25th October 2004, a Mac Centris 650 started booting OS X.


About an hour and a half later, the familiar Apple logo bootsplash appeared
</center>

(Those colours are wrong, yes. It's a blue background with a yellow-green apple in the centre, the hi-colour display in X using a Centris framebuffer borks the first few colours).

What next?
I Wait. According to the developers, PearPC using generic emulation (the only option on a non-x86) runs "about 500 times slower" than the host CPU. Ouch. That makes for a 0.05MHz G3, at the best. That's around 4000 times slower than the Athlon boots, and since that takes roughly 2 and a half minutes - I'm looking at at least 6.99 days. One week to boot!

Only next Monday!.

Still, I have time. It can sit there doing its hard drive thrashing, earning its place in my home

not sure why one would want to do this but it's sort of funny to see a 68k mac booting os x

old mac trip report: went to pick up the 1400, it boots fine tho i'll need to reformat it and install 8.6 since it's in dutch right now

he was clearing out his storage and threw in a hard drive-less pismo that boots, an og airport that i've just cannibalised the wifi card from, office 98, a cf card of unknown capacity and a pcmcia adaptor for it, and a pro mouse

i could probably sell the pismo alone and make a profit
