Mac mini Os4

[Palm]

Dudes, can someone quickly summarize some facts here ?

1. Does OS4 boot up (not just the "kickstart-hand") ?
2. What works, and what doesn't work ?

 :crazy:

So, this was not a hoax afterall. Yet, it does not sound like HW/SW solution which lets us go about with out everyday business sinec network and sound does not work. I am wondering if someone is actually using the G4 Mini with OS4 to any useful, rather than just "trying it out" ?

I would like a G4 PPC Mini myself for MOS, OSX (duh!) and it would be nice to boot AOS4 on it too (for fun -- with its flaws of course). Could I just pick up _any_ G4 PPC Mini or do I need some special verison ? (firmware, hw-edition etc)

And last, can you actually INSTALL AOS4 on it, or is it just a live-cd kinda solution you guys are booting up ?


Are anyone actually working on drivers and stuff for this "distribution" (if you can call it that) or is it a halted project ?

Oh, okay. So, if I don´t care about sound, usb or network. A PPC G4 with AOS4.x is a nice solution then. Hmm...how do I transfer files to it ? Can I use the CDROM and mount it as e.g. CD0: in AOS4.x then ?

I thought of getting a G4 Mini for MOS, which means I can also try out AOS4 on it ..for fun.


If, at least USB would be fixed, maybe we could use usb nics and usb soundcard (if drivers would exist, that is). That´s be sweet

For a cheap amiga-osh setup, you can always use a efika+mos. That is kinda cheap. However, a SAM give more a true amiga feeling (as true as can be, being non-classic that is).


I am gonna go get myself a G4 PPC to play with. I will probably end up runing MOS on it, though
