The Daystar Genesis MP has code in Linux to bring up the additional CPUs. You take that code and make a PE for OS X and the 604s will run natively in Tiger.

Look at the full Picture... It's Qemu emulating a Sawtooth running Tiger with 4 fully functioning 604e CPUs. The GPIO used for the G4's and the MPIC fully supported 4 CPUs, it's just no production logic board ever had an extra 300 Pin CPU socket and the traces needed to tie that together. The...

it's not that it won't work... We'd just need to look at how Linux kickstarts the dual and quad 604s and use that to write a PE kernel extension for OS X to start the other CPUs. If I remember correct Daystar had a kernel extension that allowed 10.0 to work with the Duals, but 10.1 broke it...

The thing is what I changed for the R9200 from the iBook G4/eMac G4/Mac Mini G4 was the device ID in the drivers and added an 'ndrv' I took from OS X into a Mac OS style driver. None of this can be done for the R9100, because the 'ndrv' is already loaded and it has the same device ID as the...

You'll need another XPC100 for the iMac. I'm kind of waiting on you results before I do the swap on my Beige, I was really hoping I could just replace the XPC66 with the 100MHz part and clock chip the PCI to 66MHz but your RAM clocks not syncing with only 38MHz PCI let's me know that can't...

The MPC932 isn't pin compatible with the SC608 so I not sure is't any use to the Beige?

If you just need one of the daughter cards with the CPU and all, let me know, I have an extra.

It's been so many years since Joe worked on this. Back in the day I had a 9100 PCI in my PM8600 but I can't recall if it ever worked with the ATI Extensions for OS 9.

That tells us the 'ndrv' in ROM is working. Sadly I can't say what the issue is, the drivers should match by Device ID and the 'ndrv' is loaded and woking. By all I know about ATI cards and OS 9 they should be loading....

when you boot OS 9 without the ATI extensions can you change the screen resolution?

Not seeing anything that jumps out at me, as we already know the Device ID is the same and that is what I hacked in the OS 9 drivers to get the ATI extensions to load for the Radeon 9200 in the Mac mini G4/eMac G4/iBook G4. The only difference I see that maybe the issue you could do something...

ioreg -l -w 0 -n <DeviceName>

Did any version of the ATI Graphics Accelerator load? Normally when you get these desktop hangs in OS 9 with an ATI card the ATI Graphics Accelerator which handles 2D graphics acceleration is the offending extension. If your card has the same device ID as the Radeon 8500 you should not need...

I ordered one of these cards and it took the slow boat from China, but I have it now. So should we try and do away with the 'ndrv' and just load the SIM?

It boots, you just get no chime.
