Does anyone know what would happen if I was to copy the Mac OS ROM file from the 8.6 CD while started up in 10.3.9 to the OS 9 system folder over the ROM version 9.0.1. Would that …

humm... I might stick with Tiger Click to expand... good choice, My Beige G3 AIO runs tiger quite well. Leopard strugles at times on my Digital Audio G4, it would probably brin…

Leopard must have a G4 to run but it can run on an upgraded beige: http://lowendmac.com/mail/0801mb/0130.html second letter.

You absolutely need a G4 to run Leopard from what I understand. Luckily you can drop in a G4 ZIF as long as it's 66 MHz bus compatible. The oldest I've heard is Leopard on a G4 up…

I will soon be getting a G3 AIO from Mike (thanks!) and I paln on upgrading it ot at least a 500mhz G3, maybe a 1ghz chip. How can I get leopard to run on this?

For 8.6 and later MOM/MOL doesn't need a ROM image.

My assumption would be that you can't use a 68k ROM with a PPC emulator... good luck, as you'll need somebody to rip a ROM image from an older PPC mac, maybe a 8100? Or even better…

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…

/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…

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…

You need an LS-240 drive to enable 32meg magic. The first-generation (LS-120) superdisk drives will not do this. Plus, you'll need the utilities that shipped with the drives to all…
