So the procedure is:
- To use a basic installation of Mac Os 9.2 (ROM 10.2.1) in to a device connected to a port that this OS can "drive", We have to try FW, Ethernet, USB, PCI cards, etc...
- To trick the Open Firmware or Mac Os ROM to avoid the MacRisc3 closed door. For this we have to Hex Edit the ROM, change the NVRAM settings or in the last chance Reflash the firmware ¿?
Probably we have to remove some xServe components to try to avoid a system crash...
The successful possibilities are very low. In the best case we can achieve that the xServe boot in to Mac Os 9, but most of the components couldn't work...
In the worst case the xServe never go further than a grey screen, but at least, we try to learn something of the "inner soul" of this lovely machines...
