Mac mini Os4

[Wilse]

Cool stuff.

I'm about to punt my iBook but if someone manages to get os4 running on one, that would be a great excuse to keep it.

Is it possible to run it on pearpc or qemu?

1,25ghz macmini? what version of firmware? This loader seems only work with 1,5ghz 64mb radeon, confirm your hardware please.

Cant open cd-rom with eject key in number keypad?

Hi please could you confirm the Spec of the Mini:-)

Also could I sugest maybe trying an ISO editer adding the rest of the A1-OS4 files to the Monna ISO?
EDIT:Or if you have an A1 take the HD-OS4 out of the A1 and put it in the Mac?

Can this Kernal screen be reached on A1  

How long ago was it now that it was confirmed and we all watched that ISO was not Fake ;-)

[skurk]

I'd love to give this a try myself.  Anyone have the patches online?  PM me the URL if you do :-)

oulala, nice project.
I would like to tryit to. I have a Macmini at office.
Maybe somebody have a link please?

Wow... Someone should try this on a Playstation 3 with the boot other OS function. Hey. you never know.

[Akira]

I could try this on my G3, or does OS4 need a G4?
My iBook G3 has a normal CD drive which I can eject manually without the need of the button

Problem is, I dont have this and wont buy it just to try :

[HenryCase]

Great work ozkano.

It's a shame the Catweasel doesn't work with PPC MacMinis (AFAIK), as it would be a useful device to get the rest of OS4 booting.

FWIW he typed in one of the messages there,
"mac mini 1.25 mhz 1 gb ram 40 gb hd" as a response, so he would appear to have the junior mini.

I've got one of the 1.5GHz PPC models just WAITING for AmigaOS. I'd even buy a copy for it, after swearing that I would never support anyone who didn't have both the hardware and software available from the same place under a single warranty....   :-D  :-D    Dang, maybe now I'll have to actually start paying attention to how lame the Amiga browsers are again to see if it would make a reasonable machine to surf with...   :-?

Mac Minis are intel chipsets right?  Does the Amiga OS 4 run on intel chipset, I thought it was for Motorola and PPC?  That would be awesome if t did work though, could get rid of my bloody awful mac os x  :pissed:

I doubt that would work. The PS3 needs a special bootloader copied to the hard drive first... besides, it's using an nvidia gfx chip which isn't supported on Amiga...

However I must say this video is amazing. I had no idea the mac was using a hardware that was so similar to the A1 that OS4 could run unmodified... That's just crazy!!  :-o

I'd buy one immediately if it could run OS4... wow...

The original Mac Minis were PPC.

Yes, mac mini g4 1,25ghz this is the model but we dont know the openfirmware version and this is the question, i doubt that mac mini 1,25ghz comes with the same version of openfirmware that mac mini 1,5ghz, but like allways this advances come with no info
