Thanks for this Thread! purchased a couple of the Adaptec 3020 cards for my 8500 and a friends copy. Using my external FW drive on this system is kinda surreal and a super nice feature to tap into!

Hmm. This is the 2nd endorsement for an older version of XpostFacto. I may have to seek out and give it a try. I am baffled as to why it is not working. I have built Hackintosh computers, own a Mac Pro 5,1 with various bits of OpenCore to get it on nearly the latest OS, and have done similar...

Appreciate the tips. I can give it another go later this week with your suggestions and perhaps look into other boot args to toggle. The manual for 4.0 (well the one I have), doesn't seem to go into any details on what the optional settings are so I am flying blind on some I don't understand by...

I attempted to install both 10.2 and 10.3 on my ZuluSCSI volume to no avail. I can run the app within os 9.1, however when I boot it shows me the ⌀ at boot. It refuses to do a straight restart from Xpostfacto, it will chime and hang with no screen or any disk activity. I do a power down...

Agreed! great to hear there is some attention on this. Kinda feels like the topic of retro computing is more popular recently. Yeah I am not 100% sure what the issue was, but abandoned the project until (maybe) this week due to issues with drives. Now that I have a couple of ZuluSCSI cards I...

Thanks for your response! Monitor has been with me for a while, but sadly forgotten and left in a closet for about 10+ years :( . I was extremely happy when it came online and actually still works. Audio on these things is still unreal, it’s like it has a Bose wave radio built into a monitor...

Greetings, First off I am well aware of the issues with these monitors, overall, however it works, has a stable display currently, just is a bit dim, and especially after I installed the AppleVision control panel. Before I installed Applevision extension, the display was quite bright...

Murphy's law. Try something you know you tried 3 or for times before. Did one final shot at erasing the disk within OS9 (it was blank already) and now xPostFacto is happy. Now onto the next hurdles this system throws at me!

Greetings, I have a 2nd drive, G3 processor, and plenty of memory in my 8500 and decided i would try to install 10.2 on this machine on my 2nd drive. Problem is, Xpostfacto 4 shows both of my bootable drives as being "not a bootable device" and prevents me from installing OS X on either of my...

I used to heat rooms with my dual G5 running Folding at home back in the day.

Done! Ended up using a basketball air fill nozzle and a pin socket from an old hard drive controller to straighten out the pins on my 68040. Working well so far!

Great post! Mine will arrive today and hoping I don't have to do too many repairs to get it online! I do have the trusty mechanical pencil standing by just in case!
