Very nice!!

Thu. Sep 4th 2008 12:40 AM - Up & Running I tore down the eMac for the vital parts last night, hard disk, RAM and optical drive. Of course I made sure the eMac was still f…

The Lombard is up and running again and seems to be cooler even with the original 400mhz processor. The only issue I have with it is that FireFox 3 will not run-Opera was installe…

I was happy with Panther on a CRT iMac for quite a time after the appearance of Tiger, but the change to Tiger was prompted by its greater Web security. Tiger's 'stealth mode' and…

I copied the ROM image from my 68k Performa. Does anyone know how to get the QuickSliver machine running off that, or if that's even what I need to do. Thanks to everyone who has r…

I'd stick with Panther on a G3 for optimal performance. Tiger is more compatible but more memory and processor intensive. I'd only use it if you had a program that required it.

/me thinks about 7.6.1 on a dual 533 G4 ...

I installed Mac OS 8.6 on my Sawtooth first with MOM, as long as it worked, it worked good, alas after a while opening any window in the guest OS would stall the VM.

You can call them emulators, or you can call them virtual machines, or you can call them compatibility environments. The point is that they run PPC code on PPCs, so the don't have…

No I don't. I just have the QuickSilver, a G5 and a Performa 630 CD which has 8.1 on it. I have a friend who I believe has an 8.6.1 borg disc. He has an iMac G3, plus another iMac …

Do you have access to an old G3/Sawtooth that you could stick the drive in, install System 8 and then stick the drive back in the Quicksilver?

Are you sure MacOnMac is not an emulator. It says it is on it's own site. http://maconmac.bastix.net By the way the site is down. I used the Internet Wayback Machine to view it. ht…

You can try MacOnMac or MOL on Linux, but it will not run nativly. Click to expand... On the other hand ... MacOnMac and MacOnLinux are not emulators. In the same way that WI…

haha thanks! It is a minitower. Also I should note that I have a firewire USB tango card in it as well as an Acard 6280M ATA 133 controller in it. Reason for such upgrades is my…

On the other hand, what is it with beige motherboards dying? I replaced the one in mine twice over the years. Both times the symptoms were a non-booting OS X install, OS 9 bootin…

No problem! It was even difficult for me to install 8.6 on my Sawtooth G4. People here helped to make it happen. [] ]'>

OK. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

No, only on Jikes and Sawtooth G4's.

Thanks for the quick reply. I know some early G4s shipped with what they call a Borg 8.6.1 disc. I guess this was basically a disc that only came with certain iMac G3 and the first…

It is just impossible. It's missing drivers and makes wrong assumptions on the hardware. You can try MacOnMac or MOL on Linux, but it will not run nativly.

Hi, I'm new here. I've been looking everywhere on how to be able to do this. I want to be able to run OS 8 on my PPC G4 QuickSilver 2002. I stumbled upon this article, just now, wr…
