I managed to land a gigger, though I'm "still" using my 867MHz G4 for most of my portable OS 9 needs. The 1400, bless its heart, just doesn't have the battery life to take it on th…

I'd love to get my hands on that model. I have always wanted a G4 powerbook even when I did own a iBook. I would like something faster than my upgraded Pismo but alas they are st…

Yeah, I always keep my data and os on separate partitions. It is really useful for if a system screws up or you want to upgrade the os and would prefer to do a clean install.

I managed to get it working after some research. It looks like Western Digital drives can't be used with the jumper in the neutral position. They must be assigned as either master …

I just bought a "new" (for me!) 1 GHz TiBook this month, and yes, it screams in OS 9. It will only run a later version of 9.2.2. And as for speed of indexing files, it is not too b…

If the Hard Drive was previously used in a PC it might have (somehow) changed something so Device Setup no longer recognizes it. Or something like that. If you have a Mac OS X CD …

I nearly always put two [seldom more] os on every machine and if possible on separate disks. On older macs this is generally 9.2.2 & tiger. On a pc generally recovery conso…

Can't get this combination working. Will boot os 9. Will boot cd/dvd drive tiger disk. Will boot tiger install disk from firewire. Will boot in safeboot, BUT no core image or e…

I honestly don't see the point most of the time. None of my current systems are no longer dual booted. When I get an intel imac though I will dualboot snow leopard and win7. That w…

Oh, yes, my IBM PS/2 Model 77 has IBM-DOS 7 and Windows 3.11 on one partition, OS/2 2.0 on a second, OS/2 2.1 on a third, and OS/2 Warp 4 on a fourth. (OS/2 3.x wasn't very intere…

Unless your computer is just for experimenting you need lots of big hard drives to run that many OS's. You're going to find that you will accumulate software for all those OS's alo…

In My hackintosh I have Leopard,Win XP, and Debian in the same HD. But in my iMacG4 and my 2 G4 MDD only 9.2.2. I love Mac Os Classic (7.x 8.x 9.x) -it is the best os I know- and…

Both are G4 revision 3.3 (7455B) but diferent production number. Both G4 have 32kInstr/32kData L1 cache at CPU speed. Both G4 have 256k L2 cache at CPU speed. Both G4 have L3 ca…

Are the CPUs exactly the same? ie, the same model/series of G4, the same amount of cache at L1, L2 and L3, the same cache:cpu speed ratio?

I'm trying to get one of my beige G3 towers running and have a Western Digital 205AA drive with the Apple logo on it. I have it installed and am able to load MacOS 9.2 from CD but …

Great info! It really highlights which apps are dual or even multi-thread aware as well as which apps/codecs are memory and/or io bound instead of cpu bound. This is the kind of …

That's some great information. Thank you for sharing the results of your real world tests. That's the best kind of information to see and it is rare.

Dual 1.42 versus 1.42 Single (1.25 overclocked to 1.42) in the same machine (G4 MDD). I have done several speed test -primary video compression- swapping two processors cards in m…

At last i managed to hear sound from roland mt-32 . I bought the real 'Hosa CMP-159 Mini to 1/4" Phone Stereo Breakout 10ft' (http://www.proaudiosuppliers.com/hosa-cmp-159.html) …

I think so. That's what I've been using whenever iCab 3.0.5 won't run, alongside some Netscape and IE for the sweet memories.

I just installed 8.6 on a spare hard drive that I put into my G4 Sawtooth, It now Quad-boots into any of the following: - Ubuntu 6.10 - Mac OS X 10.1.3 - Mac OS 9.2.2 - Mac OS 8…

On my netbook, (Don't ask the brand... ), I have Leopard, Snow Leopard, Ubuntu and Windows. Click to expand... What brand? MSI? Dualboot annoys me because of the loss synchr…

I have 4 partitions, and I have one of the fancy boot loaders when you turn on the machine, like this: http://refit.sourceforge.net/screen.html

Woah, that is a crazy amount of OSes. I like the trick of having two per partition to avoid having an unmanageable number of them. My PC has 10.5, 10.6 and Win XP all installed to…

Well, I have a B&W G3 running: 8.5, 8.6, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4. Click to expand... 8-o 8-o and I thought I was crazy Click to expand…
