PowerExpress/PowerMac 9700 Prototype

And there it stands for now. I don't want to stress the hard drive, so I'm switching to booting from the SCSI2SD to try to copy some files.

Hi captainserial! This is the first time I’ve chanced upon an OldWorld Mac showing a NanoKernel v2 termination log. It sure looks out of place! Would you mind if I snagged a copy of the System file on this machine? I suspect it might be a bit of an oddball.

Here’s my NK stuff: https://github.com/elliotnunn/powermac-rom

Cheers,

Startup chime is like Shwa-na-na-na-na...

Some fellow on Twitter recorded this as a video. Not isolated from background noise and missing two of your bezels, but still.

Pretty sweet. I've got two, looking to sell one, and I've heard/seen a few different start up chimes on them.

IIRC, I've got a clip of that startup chime I made from the speaker/headphone jack hooked up to the PAS16 setup way back when. Gotta find it, I've been meaning to make that my ring tone over a period lasting several phones now. BTW, I just backed up the images from that guy's MacTrophy Room, awesome stuff.

Hey Elliot, I know it’s a been awhile, but I never noticed this for some reason. Do you still want that System file?

I'm not sure if they're about, but it would be a good thing to grab a copy for anyone trying to understand it. Nice for 9700 owners who have bad disks and want to set up a bootable disk too.

Please post it!
