My 7600 with 350 megs of RAM, a MaxPowr 400 G3 card, and a Voodoo3 card installed in one of the PCI slots successfully booted into Jaguar's installer this evening with nary a hiccup. There was a lot of console stuff at first, but the OSX CD's splash and progress bar came up.
Now I am impatient as I have no ATA card OR a SCSI drive large enough. I even have a spare 40 gig IDE drive just WAITING for installation in my 7600! Argh.
Video performance was sluggish when it came to scrolling, or dragging a window under the installer's OS. I tried with 4 megs of VRAM on the logic board as well. Performance was a little more sluggish. I expected a larger improvement with the 16 megs of RAM that the Voodoo3 offers. Why's that?
Argh! I need a decent ATA card! That's the last piece of the puzzle. Scott
