Virtual Intel Mac for G multiprocessors

2012-06-23 Thread Anand
I know that it is generally said that a G anything cannot run Snow Leopard. 
However, I run Virtual PC on my iBook G4 so I know that a program can be 
created to emulate an Intel Mac, and it would probably work best if the PPC 
Mac had at least two processors. So, what work has been done on this and 
how can we help? I expect many of you are pretty tired of hearing it can't 
be done. I'm tired of Apple leaving us behind. Time we did something about 
it. So, who do we need to talk to to get this rolling? Peace.

Re: Virtual Intel Mac for G multiprocessors

I'd say it is better than no solution at all, which is where we are at the 
moment. I am not concerned about speed as long as it works. We've all 
gotten use to things being almost instant. Too bad.

 Considering how poky Rosetta was on the first generation Intel Macs -- and 
 that was without having to emulate the rest of the operating system -- I 
 can't imagine that emulating an Intel Mac to a useful level would be 
 anything 
 short of glacial even on a high end G5. I empathise, but that's just not a 
 workable solution.

Back up options

2012-06-16 Thread Anand
Hi folks. So I'm getting a G5 and I am wondering what is the best way to 
back it up on an external firewire 800 hard drive. Is there software that 
will do this automatically? Thank you all so much for your help. Peace.

blank MDD

2010-12-15 Thread Anand
 I have a n ATI 9800 which seems to over heat the MDD dual 
 1.42GHz. So I put a slot fan in it. For the first time the MDD started doing 
 the wind tunnel effect and then the screen turned off. I have removed the 
 fan. No change. Changed to a different ATI 9800, no change. Replaced video 
 card with the first ATI AGP. Still no change. Any ideas?

 Peace,
 Anand

Was it the video card or the processor overheating?

-Jonas

I think the processor because after about an hour I would get the grey
screen of death telling me I had to restart.

Peace,
Anand
