Well done Piru! I have OS X Tiger, MophOS 1.4.5, Ubuntu and Gentoo all running froma menu at startup on my Pegasos II as well! You have to love the Pegasos. It simply is the best computer system ever made as far as I can see. If hardware GPU was supported it would be an awesome Mac, however the speed OS X gets is perfect and is no less then using a older mac that doesnt have Wuartz Extreme support. Say a Powerbook G3 Pismo for example, Its actually faster then one of those.

Its a shame we cant have OS4 in them as well. They would run it quite well.

Sorry, I am afraid its a bit far, I am from Germany, this would be a huge Trip
just for a Pegasos visit ;)
Regarding the Peg, this month it is 3 years since I have a Peg (*sigh*, as time goes by ;))
started with a Peg 1, upgraded to a Peg2, and never regret it.
It is a nice little machine and MorphOS is fun too :)

Yeah even the first 400-500Mhz Powerbook G4 Titaniums only had ATI Rage cards which are unsupported by Quartz Extreme or Core Image.  I am using a 2001 G3 iBook (ATI Rage 128) while my MBP is away at Apple getting fixed.  It doesn't support  either.  OS X on the Pegasos is a lot faster than on either the iBook G3 or the 8MB VRAM Powerbook G4's.

Why can't you? :-? I don't understand why people are quite happy to break Apple's EULA by running OS X on unlicensed hardware (be it A1 or Peg) but when it comes to running OS4 on unlicensed hardware they get all moralistic.  There is no difference.

I don't think OS4 will run on Pegasos. It would probably need  a patch, and then you'd have to get hold of a copy of OS4 (which isn't available for purchase, so you'd have to use an illegal hack.)

Mac OS X is available for purchase though, that's the difference I can see.

Yup, thats it. You cant buy OS4 so you cant install it. I am sure once its released it will get it, if it ever gets released. I would have no moral issues buying a copy if I had a way to install it on my unlicensed Pegasos!

@Blade (where did you leave the "runner" ??)

So thats OS3.9 running in UAE ?

Reminds me of when my Peg1 was new, and I wanted to transfer files from the A4k the fastes possible way (no USB and no Net at that time). Added the A4000's HD to the Peg, switched it on....


... and was creeted by lovley 3.9  :-o  :-o  :-o

The trick must have had something to do with that HD having an extremly high boot-pri  :crazy:

@motorollin

Sure, but ......

The OF will just load boot.img (I think it was MOS1.0 or maybe 1.1) from the normal MOS-HD.

That will get the ABox going, which then searches for bootable FFS or SFS formated drives, and boot the one with the highest pri.

In my case that was the DH0: partition on the A4000-HD.

The only think that suprised me that it survided "setpatch", but that did probraly check the version and thought "wtf v50 ?? I'm only v45.xxx .... someone is doing a prank on me !! I'm on strike !!!!"

But the boot.img doesn't contain the 68k emulator which would be needed for AOS3.9, right?

In practise it was MorphOS but running 68k stuff from Amiga HD (like Workbench). It was not using 68k Kickstart image or anything like that...

static 68k emulation is inside the boot image, the JIT is not.

Kronos:
The "runner" got lost, cause I once forgot the old passwort and
somehow didnt get the password reminder working.
Well was to lazy and simply registered a new account
(Is a while ago, IIRC the old Bladerunner which I never
used anyway is now gone)

Regarding 3.9 yes it is running inside UAE, cause if
I would run it directly on top of MOS, I would loose
AGA and such, it is actually just for gaming and fun
purposes (but I think I will downgrade to an ordinary
3.1 again, 3.9 is a bit problematic with some games
