OS 4 on Mac PPCs
« on: December 15, 2007, 12:25:01 AM »
Hello all,

sorry to ask that, I think that it should be already discussed several times, but...
Why OS4 is not compatible with Macs PPCs. Me, for example, I have an old 933mhz G4 with 1.5gb ram and a Geforce 4.
Those Macs are cheap and easy to find, and the other solutions  are extremely expensive and extremely difficult to obtain.

I'm pretty sure that they would drastically increase their market...

Thanks...

Hey, why you guys don't turn this forum "Invite Only"? That way only you members of the club could participate.

Again excuse me for the ignorance, but...
If today I buy an OS 4, what machine it would recommend at the box? The best option...

And how different, let's say a Quicksilver G4, is from the recommended machine? I mean mainboard chipsets and etc...

I'm trying to narrow where the effort would be needed more: Removing protections or re-written some drivers.
