Hi....Eric, if Xpostfacto can create a truly reliable patch (We all know howFrom: Eric Dannewitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "PCI PowerMacs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2004 09:13:48 -0800 To: "PCI PowerMacs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: 8600 and XPostfacto
True, but Xpostfacto is a utility that will allow you to install Panther
on unsupported macs. It's currently still in Beta for Panther, but it
works great with Jag (10.2) installed.
reliable "Beta-anything" can be), I'll be all over it!! I'd love to run
Panther on my Beige G3/G4-500 Sonnet workhorse machine and several others as
well. Mikie
Actually, XPostFacto works very well on 7x00/8x00/9x00 systems. My main (well, my *only*) system is a 9600/G3 that runs Jaguar. It's as stable as any other computer I've owned in the past WRT OS X (original TiBook, 2000iMac DV/SE, 2002Quicksilver). It doesn't cost anything, and if you alread have Panther, then you're well on your way :D
I've heard the only problems with Beige G3 machines is that onboard video isn't supported as of yet, so as of right now, you'd need a PCI video card to run Panther.
You can check out the Unsupported OSX forum if you need advice, in addition to the XPostFacto forum mentioned previously.
