Help with Mac Mini & OS 4.1
« on: June 21, 2010, 03:45:49 PM »
There has been some conflicting information as to whether or not it would be possible to use the Mac Mini G4 1.25Ghz (with 32MB vram) with Amiga OS 4.1 with Moana loader.  I have not gotten it to work, but I am sort of returning to Amiga community after a very long hiatus...  Would someone be able to give me some valid information, or point me to the right location to find out?  

As I have read, the problem lies in the Radeon driver, but I believe somewhere I read that someone had gotten to modify it, or had gotten it to work.

I bought this Mac Mini in order to start to familiarize myself with the new OS, I'm on the beta tester queue for X1000, but who knows if I'll be chosen or not-- so far I haven't heard anything.

Thanks to any/all who are willing to help.  If you would like (and If I get some valid information) perhaps I can compile something from the responses so others will have this reference guide as well.

Many thanks,
Ron

I had been looking for used Pegasos machine (in U.S.? this seems like a bit of a stretch: the probability similar to a miracle happening, everyone deciding on world peace and I might still not be able to find a used one), and SAM still requires quite an investment to get into and I would be using something similar in spec to the Powermac that I had in 2002 (sorry to be such a downer on SAM)...   so I thought the logical thing would be the mini, which I got quite a good deal on -- but ALAS...

MorphOS is a compelling option, however I really dig the OS 4.1 interface, and want to play around with the direct relative to my original A1000's O.S.
