You may want to know that you may find decent parts for your system from http://macsales.com/
I think we may have to really keep our PowerPC running for longer than that although I did hear of someone developing a multicore PowerPC laptop a month or so ago. I've got to search for who this fellow is again as I lost track, but I did hear of a fellow who created a working Cell based laptop which ran the GameOS and had the OtherOS option. Pretty neat! Caveat: If you replace the power supply or other support parts you shouldn't have trouble running YDL from it. Be careful regarding other components however such as DVD drives: if those go it may be wiser to consider an external DVD drive in that situation. I'm unsure if anyone we knew remains at Fixstars from TSS; it may not be so easy to get the kind of support we became accustomed to. In any case, I'd advise you to consider reviewing what notations remain regarding their advisories regarding which hardware works with YDL and which do not. As best I recall, the past emphasis (by TSS) was to support original Apple parts. So the problems to watch for may not be RAM as much as internal associated devices, such as a newer hard drive or modem or something similar. It may be better to just get an HD which resides on a PCI card which your system should recognize with no problem as an external system; I don't think such a drive would be able to be booted from within YDL. It would be interesting to try that out as a concept though. Anyway enjoy and all the best!! On Thu, 24 Dec 2009 13:57:49 -0800 Warren Nagourney <war...@phys.washington.edu> wrote: > Thanks, Derick.
