Title: AmigaMini (isofile) Amiga Moana
Post by: TheMud on May 02, 2008, 10:22:28 PM
Was wondering... As the topic says.:

AmigaMini (isofile) Amiga Moana

What is that all about ? ... Should be the Files, Iso, Whatever that makes OS4
run on the Mac Mini... Suddenly I had it here... It says IT WORKS ... But who has OS 4 and a Mac Mini ? Im NOT willing to test it on my iMac :-)

It boots the OS4 kernel on a Mac Mini. But it only works on very specific hardware (one model of Mac Mini IIRC) and AFAIK nobody has got the OS to boot - it just sits on the Kickstart screen.

I was a little fast in posting here. Just read a whole lot about this in another thread. Damn... Just thought I had made the discovery of the century :-)

Nor my MacBook :-( I almost got it booting on my G4 Mac Mini, but as I said there's only one specific model with a particular OF version which will actually allow it to boot.

If it did, then you would have solved OS4's biggest problem... i.e. not running on the x86 :-D

How do you spell that sound people make when they press their tongue in front of their bottom teeth and go "errrrrr!!!"? :lol: Don't know why I mentioned my MacBook since it obviously won't work. I think I've had too much to drink :crazy:

I think what that shows is how unimportant the CPU architecture is... and also how brilliant Apple's transition from PPC to x86 has been... I have a PPC and  x86 Macs and other than the obvious performance difference, you wouldn't  know :-)
