I don't know whether I want to do this for any length of time or not, at the moment, it's just an experiment.  Even if I wanted too I don't have any small IDE hard drives and I am not confident enough with hardware to do that procedure. I only take apart laptops if I don't care about them. 

That looks like it would do what I want, thanks. I would be installing a second drive in my computer so it would still be usable as a normal computer. The only problems I see are: maybe speed and it would take more power than an enclosure. 

I'll keep an eye out for enclosures. I don't want to repartition mainly because I don't have that much space on the drive.  

So I want to install a second OS on my Mac Mini G4 but I don't want to repartition the 40 GB drive inside it. It will not boot off of USB and I don't want to buy a FireWire enclosure, they are expensive cause FireWire is now a outdated technology.   I have a couple of ideas though:  Get the...

Anway to emulate "Target Disk Mode" in Mac OS 9. This is for my G4 PCI which lacks such a feature in its firmware.  If not possible, any way of doing this with a PC? I want to install a second OS on my Mac Mini G4(on a separate drive) but don't want to buy a firewire enclosure.

Patches the Mac OS 9.2 installer to run on machines it was not designed to run on. When I tried this back when I had a Performa 6400, the results where terrible, the sound was always full volume and would not go through the front headphone jack. I also had memory errors. I would not recommend it...

This is true, an HD monitor(not TV) should work fine with it. I tried hooking my Mac Mini up to a couple of now older HDTV and did not work.(just got a black screen). I wish there was an easy workaround for this since I want to use it with my video capture card witch SEEMS to suffer from the...

Don't know why I did not get a notification, oh well.  Yeah, that's what I feared :(.  I can use S-video on my G4 but it's not up to modern standards. 

Sorry forgot to set notifications on for the thread, Mac OS X.5 PPC. Looking for something free. 

I have had this problem with several old video cards. Looking into it, DVI and HDMI are not as compatible as most people think. For one thing, HDMI uses "Y′CBCR" colour space by default with RGB being optional, DVI uses "RGB" and "Y′CBCR" is optional.  Some old video card had an S-video...

I am looking for software to record my desktop.(PowerPC, Mac OS X) Does anyone know where I can get some? 

Thank you parrotgeek1.

Hi:   Is there a system extension to show invisible files in OS 9? -Jamie  

os9forever.com now redirects too https://www.macsales.com/, too bad. This is the second time that has happened to me, the first one was when a popular BeOS site was redected to the Andy(?) Andirod emulator 

Nicely done. 

That's a good idea. Offhand I can't think of many programs or games that have surround sound in Mac OS 9. A shooter probally does but I don't usually play those. 

You can also try the "mobile" version of sites.(i.e m.facebook.com). The "mobile" version was originally meant for "dumb" cellphones but with modern smartphones even they have been becoming more resource intensive. 

Wasn't there an old "Sound Blaster Live! for Mac"? Maybe it's old enough that it will run on your machine. 

That could come in handy some day, thank you.

I don't need that at the moment but I'll keep that in mind if I do in the future.
