Hi all, My name is R.T. Dowling. I'm new to this list, but have been a member of various LowEndMac lists in the past (notably SuperMacs, QuadList and Swap).
I have a PowerMac 7500/180 (stock 7500 with 604e/180 processor card). I recently acquired a copy of BeOS R5 and would like to install it on this machine. If there are any Be users on the list, I was hoping you could share your experiences with running Be on a Mac. I've used Be on various PCs and have found it to be extremely fast and stable, but have yet to use it on a Mac. I've also noticed a profound lack of PowerPC Be apps available on the web. The majority of them say Intel only. However, if an Intel-only app has source code available, is it possible (and relatively easy) to recompile that code to run on PowerPC? I'd just like to get a few basic apps running on it, such as an IM client, a browser (preferably BeZilla), etc. Thanks for your time and happy new year, -R.T. -- http://fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
