Intel PPC in A600

[Lando]

I hope they hurry up and make the Red Dwarf Movie :-) It should be Ace (Rimmer...)

@GPT:

If you want to be taken seriously, get a camera and get some photos of the thing running.  

Otherwise, there is no point in insisting that such a beast exists.

Are you sure it wasn't KCS's PowerPC 600 - an add-on 8086 PC card for the A600? Admittedly it wouldn't run Windows NT. I can't think of anything that would execute the WinNT PPC. It's a pain to get working, even on a real IBM PPC clone.

Whatcha mean pain to get working? It installs off a CD, all you need is to get ahold of a HAL floppy.

Wasn't difficult for me, anyway

What wasnt difficult? Getting NT to run on a PPC board on an Amiga?

I promise you all that this is no joke.

What also is no joke is that digital cameras are wide spread these days! So, take a few snaps and post them here.

There is a PPC Version of NT4.
Admittedly, you can't do much more than booting and maybe run an outdated version of IIS. But still, it exists

edit: OOPS, this had already been discussed.

@olegil
What kind of software could you run on NT4 for PPC?

I've just bought a digital camera Minolta DiMage S414... it's sweet :-) Cost an arm and a leg though
 :boohoo:

@ Bloodline

Did the same with series 1 to 6 of Red Dwarf. I'd bought them at a car boot sale (a big yard sale in a field sort of - for our U.S. chums :-) ).

And me and my mates watched all 6 series non-stop. That must of bin 5 years ago, cos we'd just left school (nothing better to do!).

Back on topic:

We've got the NT Disc with multiple versions on it, I did have my own personal copy at one point. God knows why.

If I remember right it was dated 97?, maybe before. We've probably got about a million microshaft CD's here (part of their volume licensing Select agreement crap), and for some reason we seem to have all the ones from 5-6 years back knocking about.

Cheers,
Crumpy

That was the easy bit. It wasn't exactly automatic though.  It liked to die during installation at various points of the installation.

On second thought, I think it was a dodgy machine. I've just remembered it was replaced a few months later when someone got tired of repairing it.
