[rant]9.2.x/10.x.x comes down to this: Apple wants people to buy new machines. We (the determined ones) have decided that that's just not good enough. We have demonstrated that 9.2.2/X can run on these machines, but no one really cares. I guess that's the definition of unsupported.[/rant] With that said, 9.2.x is essentially 9.1.x with a few adjustments and new drivers, but was really designed to stop Apple support for machines that could potentially run it and benefit from it. Essentially, all that is different is the gestalt resources. The list of supported gestalt ID's is MUCH shorter than 9.1.x, the last OS to support pre-beige g3. All the patch does is copy these supported resources back into the system suitcase. The steps are roughly: set MachIDWannabe to simulate a Beige G3, Run patched 9.2.2 installer, edit system suitcase gestalt resources from afar, reboot. I've run it for a while, and notice no difference from my B&W at work running the same thing. If you decide to go through with this I can provide more concrete steps. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
