My how to install os 4 on to a mac mini

http://macminios4.blogspot.com/

It's not an easy process but it does work. I'm sure someone can find an easier way to install it.

I install os 4 on my mac mini as a technical challenge and to get the look and feel of what os 4 is.

The lack of drivers doesn't help you get the true feeling of os4 but its far cheaper then spending a lot of money on a sam board.

And people don't which programmers might want to take on the technical challenge of doing something different and write some driver.

Yes OS4 does boot or at least  it did for me http://macminios4.blogspot.com/2008/12/install-os-4-on-to-mac-mini-how-to.html

The graphics driver works, programs load and install.

The usb keyboard and mouse work you have to plug the usb mouse in to the back of the computer and not in to the keyboard or the keyboard won't work.

What doesn't work is the sound, USB, Network.

To be correct then yes HID devices work and usb doesn't .

It doesn't seem that you need mac a partition.

The slb boot loader seems to read the amiga partitioned disk.
