I never had much success with the reduced ROMs. I bought some 128K rom chips and successfully replaced one on a 64 MB radeon 7000 a few weeks ago, and flashed the retail 226 ROM on it. I'm not running Mac OS X though. Looks just like the silver heatsink ones on the left side of your picture.

There is a very basic MacRoman <-> UTF-8 converter in one of my Marathon tools: https://github.com/treellama/atque/blob/master/ferro/macroman.cpp If your project is GPL you can use that directly. Depends on how much modern C++ support you have too, I suppose. If one or the other of those is...

In my case it was not an AppleTalk or AP issue, as I was only trying to use IP at the time. But, I could have been doing something wrong. If you get the Ethernet working, should be straightforward to switch the interface to the Wifi and try it!

I have had trouble getting bridge to work with the Raspberry Pi wifi, so YMMV. If you have trouble with it, try Ethernet before going too far debugging it.

Interesting, I wonder if this would also work for firmware updated clamshells, which can no longer run stock 8.6

I now have tashrouter working as well. The writeup by @finkmac was helpful. In my case, netatalk is running in a VM. I was able to run tashrouter in a separate VM, but with libvirt getting one to start up before the other was tricky. So I ended up using the tap / bridge setup above directly on...

My pre-FW Clamshell (to my surprise, at the time) boots from a USB stick with 9.x on it. This is a relief as the CD-ROM barely functions so I have no other way to boot it without setting up a net boot server. I have not been able to get it to boot Mac OS X from USB however.

It totally works in the IIx!

macintoshgarden.org still loads for me without encryption on pre-OS X Macs

My AGP G4/400, one of the earliest ones, shipped with 9.0.4. You must have had to order the day they were announced to get 8.6!

Marathon should be playable on very low settings :)

There were map editors for Bolo as well

For a long time I thought I had a bad QS, because I would test it without all four (not three) CPU module screws... It is certainly unusual.

Simply gorgeous, nice work

There are, but even just two player games over ARA were very laggy. Classic Marathon uses a ring topology, so every packet has to get sent from player to player. The latency is the sum of the point to point latency from each player to player--it would quickly become unplayable over the internet...

Sadly, Marathon can only be played online on modern computers. It just missed the beginning of online play in 90s shooters.

Here's the mod to get the QS CPUs to work in older models, from the archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20071211003550/http://homepage.mac.com/josephk/G4_mod.html Look for the 12V connector section

QS provides 12V to one of the three screws(!) on the processor card. So you would need to supply that for it to work in a DA.

Thanks for the mention of Aleph One on your site. Just a note: bungie.org is not run by Bungie! They're fine with the serial number being posted, as they have released all of the trilogy to play gratis, but they did not post it. Bungie's site is bungie.net
