In this case it's reading from the DBDMA registers (which are memory-mapped), so it seems a bit unusual to read 1 byte from a word-sized register. Even if making the 1-byte read work (as joevt did in https://github.com/joevt/dingusppc/commit/3ab60e486a8b2d80b241f0e939a86ef320035631), the Finder...

The issue appears to be the Apple Photo Access extension -- disabling it both makes the non-DWORD read go away, and allows the Finder to successfully start.

Thanks for that tip, I see the second video window in the native build. It turns out the JS side is actually fine with this, since the Sixty6Video never displays, so only the ControlVideo updates being sent. The actual issue with JS was that the alpha channel ended up being 0, and the JS side...

https://infinitemac.org/run?disk=Mac+OS+8.1+Disk+Tools+%28PPC%29&machine=Power+Macintosh+7500 renders the checkboard for a brief period and then the cursor appears (and responds to input), but everything outside of it is black. The (upstream) native build doesn't show the cursor at all.

I've updated the Infinite Mac build with the latest upstream DingusPPC code, and the 6100 should be restartable again. FWIW the fork that I have (https://github.com/mihaip/dingusppc) is just for Infinite Mac-specific changes. I usually rebase it (from the upstream at...

The fact that it boots 7.1.2 with a “Welcome to Power Macintosh” message is a pretty good way to show that it’s a 6100.

Thanks! Mostly credit to @powermax and @joevt, they've done the bulk of the work in getting DingusPPC to the point where it can boot real OSes. Now that there's SCSI HD support, it should be possible to attach multiple devices to the emulated bus, I'll look into making the additional drives...

it can also boot from the 7.1.2 install CD (with graphical glitches) and a hard disk image (though it gets stuck pretty soon after the Welcome to Power Macintosh screen). I’m in the DingusPPC Discord talking to some of the other people working on it. It sounds like the SCSI implementation is not...

joevt is right, the 6100 machine is DingusPPC-based, and the disk tools floppy gets the furthest so far. You can track the work at https://github.com/mihaip/infinite-mac/issues/219.

Thanks, that worked (not sure I couldn't get the option to be enabled earlier, but it works now).

Is it possible (possibly via a third-party INIT) to have specific applications or documents open at startup, similar to the System 7 "Startup Items" folder? I'm aware of the "Set Startup" option, but that only allows specific items to be opened when not using the MultiFinder (at least, the...

The original source of the Taligent screenshot appears to be the portfolio of Robin Silberling, a designer on the project. Her portfolio has a few more images -- it's no longer up but archive.org has a copy...
