Amiga OS4 on old (PPC) Macs

[Vlabguy1]

I Have some older G4macs..(one is a Dual500)..if anyone is interested..let me know..hehe..
Let the experimenting begin..

Apple really made a G4 1.5ghz MINI?  I cannot find any info on this machine.
I only found the 1.25, and the 1.42ghz versions.mmm..
I did find info on the 1.5ghz intel Mac Mini..

Please someone clarify, which model is required, and why doesn't the 1.25,1.42 Mac Mini work?  I have a G4 1.67 PowerBook 17"..why wont it work on any of these machines..or even an older G4 @500mhz..
Please someone explain.

Thanks
Rich

Ok so the Mac Mini..were sold As 1.25, 1.42 respectively..but in reality you might have gotten a 1.33, or 1.5?  interesting..Seems to me that the CPU speed is not really a factor here but rather the 64megs of video ram, which seems to be the common factor here..

And..mm..who knows if 128mb of vram will work, as say with an old G3,G4 mac.

worth trying I suppose.
I bet most people didnt even realize that when buying there 1.25, 1.42 mini..that their machine..might be just a bit faster..

Well I would much rather run Amiga OS4 on the macs that I own, including my
G4 PowerBook 17"..now that would be sweet!!

Long Live Amiga

I would def, be interested to see if OS4 can//will be ported to Mac.  I have several older and newer Macs that would love Amiga OS4 ... :-)..
The hope that this will happen is the only reason why Im hangin onto these
machines..
