#MorphOS 3.19 Adventure day 2 on the #MacMiniG4

#Wayfarer updated to 9.0 and spent some time with understanding how to change desktop resolution, background etc. to 4:3 so I can easily switch between the mega65 and this on the Capture Card without different settings.

Being without the normal BSD/GNU tools makes computing a bit more complicated. And without a *nix filesystem structure I don't even know where to put the new browser :D

Been waiting for this day! The release of #MorphOS 3.19

Never really used MorphOS before. And I was never an #Amiga user either either (I left the #C64 for a 386).

Last year I've started exploring the "alternative universe" of #Commodore with the #Mega65. Now I will explore the #PowerPC Amiga Software on the #MacMiniG4.

Burned a CD and installed it. Quick and easy. Replaced my old "hacked" version of #MacOS9 that was installed on the unsupported #PPC #MacMini.

Сегодня Пинки и Брейн постараются заменить на Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard стек OpenSSL/OpenSSH, ибо криптобляди за последние годы сломали все совместимости
Нахуй оно мне надо шифровать всё в домашней сетке?

PS получилос аднака!

Опа
MacOS 10.6 Snow Leopard никогда не выходил для PowerPC, но это не остановило умельцев, которые перенесли его туда в этом году

HTTPS including TLS 1.3 and SSH2. Configuring #Classilla with Crypto Ancienne (https://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/carl.html) to work as HTTPS proxy.

And doing so with the use of #ssheven (https://github.com/cy384/ssheven) to ssh into a local server.

Now I have a #MacOS9 laptop to replace my #MacMIniG4 as my "Classic Mac" so the mini can do new adventures with #MorphOS. But first I will spend some time setting up MachTen.

Now after installing #MacOS9 on an #Apple #iBook G3 600MHz I did some benchmark against my #MacMiniG4 also running MacOS9 (via the ROM hacked image).

The #PowerPC G3 in this iBook surprisingly slow. I expected half of CPU performance, of the G4 not less than a third compared to the 1.2GHz #PPC G4 in the Mini. And it's rather close with the built in reference result of a #Powermac G3 300MHz.

The FPU benchmark looks better though...

Well I can call that a resounding victory. Dual booting Sorbet Leopard + Mac OS 9.22 on a #MacMiniG4

It was good for one reason: seeing long-hated Internet Explorer launch instantly and use 17 megabytes of RAM. Somewhere along the way we must have done something wrong.

Now onto the part where I install #Morphos. Something I never did. Hopefully the install will work from USB with same OpenFirmware commands.

Progress : thanks to open firmware I managed to boot the patched Mac OS 9.2 installer from USB.

@kiwa #MacOS9 on them is fantastic and on pair as the most highend as MacOS9 experience gets. And the amount of software for MacOS9 is huge and easy to get hold of via Macintoshgarden and MacintoshRepository.

Some of my posts in here is about the experience of MacOS9 on #MacMiniG4. I can recommend the journey of fiddling about with some nice old software and think about the 90's. I had some fantastic months of entertainment with it the last years.

Soooo... started using #MorphOS today... :) does anyone have a working solution to use #matrix on MorphOS? And does someone using #Amidon here?

More things I regret throwing away.

Another series of pictures of old computer stuff. Collected 2 old #Quadra950 from my father around 18 years ago but didn't have space for them later in life.

I combined the Quadras into one maxed out with RAM and explored #AUX . Had a great deal of problem getting an A/UX image back then.
