You mean Mac OS 8? Sure. A 9600 can even still do 7.x, the last Power Mac that could. Click to expand... The 9600 requires 7.6.1. You can't even use a 7.6 install disc, it has …

i too have one but its working without any flaw

My 8500 (RIP) did very well with 8.1, 8.6, and 9.1. Did badly with 8.5 and 9.0.4. I would probably recommend 8.6.

Where's the button to vote "Both, with MOL"? Click to expand... You have to have at least a minimal install of 9.x.x to run BootX so having an option for both seemed redundant.…

Where's the button to vote "Both, with MOL"?

I vote 9.1 due to it being mac and there is classilla for web surfing. I did try Ubuntu on a Dell but the disk would not load, and Kubuntu worked but it sucked. I really did not l…

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! I'll just keep working on my X86/Radius 81/110 ubuntuGIMPbox™ Hack! )

The biggest problem I had was in copying the kernel and ramdisk from the installed system to the Mac OS partition. I didn't have a small HFS partition and Linux can't write to HFS+…

Ah, good. 9.2.2 is needed for the last update to the ATi drivers so I just hoped it could be done. I've also heard that 9.2.x is faster than 9.1. So now I just have to get OS9Helpe…

Cool, I didn't realize that there was an easy install version of ubuntu for PPCs! AFAIKnew, they all required foolin' around waaay more than I wanted to do. Will it run on a 6500/G…

I like Kubuntu on my Clamshell, it gave the iBook new life, albeit being a bit buggered up

My 9500 and 9600 both have Sonnet G4/800 cards and work just fine in 9.2.2. Also have a G3/450 in an 8600/200 that works fine in both 9.1 and 9.2.2.

I tried Ubuntu a couple of times on my iBook and iMac over the years. It's been a while but I think I had video problems with both (the iMac for sure). Kubuntu especially was very …

Could just be the drivers were not tested in OS 9.2.x and they don't feel like taking returns or testing for that OS.

So the instruction manual from Sonnet says their upgrades only work up to 9.1 but I know there are people here who refuse to accept such things so I have to ask. Have any of you go…

Carbon isn't modern?

given that situation yes

So you just got a beige PCI Mac with no OS installed and you have Mac OS 9.1 and Ubuntu 9.10 for PPC Macs available for a clean install. Given how old 9.1 is and that no modern sof…

You say you didn't notice a difference in Virtual PC. Did VPC claim to be dual-aware? If so, probably what you'd need to do then is test out running two virtual PCs on each the dua…

As a follow-up to my own question which I asked on another group, the AppleFacts books were used by the Apple Sales representatives, which explains why basically no one a.) has an…

Yes, it's quite possible to do 68k development on a PPC. I believe you can even develop System 6 apps, although I haven't tested it yet. I'd like to expand the tutorial to the poi…

Nice work! It's good to see a quick-start for using MPW. One note, pressing 'command-return' is equivalent to using 'enter' on the numpad. @Nathan: I'm fairly certain you can comp…
