Count me in too, and this on the premise that cost of shipping to Europe is not horrible.

And my axe! Well not, but I’m interested. This is very neat idea and I wonder why it has not been thought before.

I did solve the problem somewhat lazy and not totally acceptable way of Basilisk II. This gets me starting with this learning path. I'll be looking for a suitable laptop though...

This is a PowerBook5,6 - A1106. I has a FW800 port, and according to everymac.com it is not capable to boot OS9. Or at least I have not found a correct OS9 cd anywhere. I have some from garden, but none of those will boot.

I was afraid of something like that. The issue with this powerbook is that to my knowledge this powerbook doesn't support booting to System 9 or older, just OS X.

All, I got in my hands something I've for long needed - A genuine Macintosh programming book. This is Macintosh Programming Primer from 1989. So, I thought I would setup an environment in the Powerbook G4 I have. This would be convenient as I can then carry it around. I got the Classic...

How does one overclock the bus speed?

Thanks. I'll have a look.

I just installed SevenTTY and found it nice. I also found that redirection ( "<", ">" ) does not work. Would it be possible to implement? Think about nc and its possibilities with redirection as there is no sftp/scp.

So, like Borat would put it: "Great success!" I do now have a running A/UX 3.1.1 installation. And it was quite a lot simpler process than I originally thought. The only minor obstacle was how to write boot diskette with modern MBA, but after a bit of searching and two tries, it was a success...

Thanks everybody for your input. Good advice there. I'll try the route to install it myself. The idea of installation has been somewhat intimidating due to almost absurd hardware requirements (this particular cdrom drive, that particular model etc), so I thought readymade image would be nice...

This sounds doable. Could you maybe give a bit of advice how to proceed?

Did check that. It was on.

So I replaced the memory down to 20 MB. But that did not help. The first error did change though to reflect smaller amount of memory. edit: 4 MB on the digital board + 16 MB.

All, Based on instructions on https://github.com/unxmaal/aux_sdcard I downloaded the image and copied that onto a sd card. That went well. The issue arises when the os is booting and ”A/UX Startup” is being run. I include messages both as pics and as text for search engines. First error...

One thing to keep in mind is the thickness of the new SIMM boards. The original board is quite remarkably thicker than newer boards, so those might not sit well without either rubberband or similar fastening the SIMM in position, or 3d-printed clips...

Slightly off topic: If you're interested running linux on G4 or G5 there are options. There is a Debian 32-bit PPC net installer on http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2024-02-25/ This of course requires that your NIC is recognised by the OS. Also there are at least Adelie linux...

Anybody got any thoughts on this? Do double sided SIMMs work in iMac G4?

All, I would be interested to upgrade the current display adapter on my 450MHz cube. I've seen a guide (here, I guess) of how to take a XFX 6200 and burn new ROM onto it. The guide and on the Mac Elite site it says to use exactly one model "XFX Geforce 6200, PV-T44A-WANG 256MB DDR2". Those are...

All, I'm trying to increase the max memory of this iMac. Currently there is a PC-133 256MB SIMM on the internal slot and 512MB SO-DIMM on outer slot. The SIMM on the inside slot is currently single sided. All the other PC-133 SIMMs I do have are double sided, and those are NOT recognised at...
