Oooooo... shiny new gadget I didn't know existed before now. Thanks for that.

Something else I was wondering: from what I've read, all of the compatible PCMCIA cards are 10BaseT and not 100. Is this correct? Other than having to connect to something using the defunct WEP security, are there any other issues with using one of the WiFi PCMCIA cards? How is the speed...

I've just purchased a 1400cs/133 and it's lovely (other than the typical issues with a PC card door not closing and hinge cracked plastic). I've read through everything I can over the last several hours but I haven't been able to figure out a good answer to this question: What's the best way...

Thank you for the work on this emulator. I’m very impressed with the progress and compatibility.

Thanks for help. Today I used DingusPPC on Ubuntu and succeeded in getting all of the Power Mac 6100 compatible versions of Mac OS installed on separate drive images and they are all working well (from the limited testing I've done). Is there a better place to discuss DingusPPC? I don't want...

Thank you, that worked perfectly. I didn't understand what "FILE:TEXT" meant in the DingusPPC docs and tried all sorts of combinations... except the right one.

I'm loving DingusPPC and have tested it on macOS ARM an Linux x86-64. Is it possible to load more than one HDD image in the 6100/7100/8100 machines?

Congrats on getting one, especially in decent shape and at a good price. Those are very nice machines.

It does seem a bit odd. I bought a 2001 iBook G3 new and it came with the grey discs. My 2003 iMac came with grey discs. My 2005 Minis came with grey discs. I'm curious what you find out.

I agree that radically changing the classic hardware negates the point of using classic hardware, but I do not think accelerators (including PiStorm) cross that line. My reasoning is that people were creating and using contemporary accelerators with classic Macs and would have happily gone for...

^ No, I haven't had any issues with Classic or anything else. That said, I've currently only got the single partition with Tiger installed. Classic works but I've always preferred to use boot into 9 (currently that's a G4 Mini, TiBook, and G3 iBook) for reliability. For many years I setup...

I upgraded my 2003 1.25GHz G4 iMac 17" several years ago with a IDE to SATA adapter, a 256GB SSD, and the max (2GB, 1GB internal and 1GB at the bottom plate). I installed 10.4.6 from the retail Tiger DVD with no issues.

^ Thank you. All of this is pretty spectacular. On top of my G4 Minis and 2003 17" G4 iMac, over the last few years I've picked up several PPC iBooks and PowerBooks for 10.4 and 9. I know the laptops are much less compatible overall, but some of them run 9 natively so the possibility of...

Please let us know your experiences.

I think Snow Leopard is spot on for that CPU. You've got access to a ton of earlier PPC software with Rosetta plus the later Intel software. Snow Leopard is also very perky with those machine specs so it's a pleasure to use. I've run 10.11 El Capitan on a Mini with similar specs and it's...
