I still have a 1.25GHz iMac G4 I use for watching DVDs and playing music in the kitchen, and as a security monitor (I have an old video concentrator for the security cameras). It's a 15", so the arm is still great.

Still struggling, huh? What's the most current set of errors you're getting?

My pleasure.

Is it still Lynx if we add mouse hotspots, dialogue boxes and scrollbars? I'd argue ... heck yeah! Runs on System 7.0 and up, A/UX compatible. https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2023/01/maclynx-beta-4-now-with-scrollbars-and.html

Too bad a POWER9 doesn't count ;) (doing this from a Raptor Talos II).

Very nice restoration. Hope it sticks.

Excellent!

Sure, go for it! I don't know what it will do on other Macs, though, so they should definitely only use it if necessary.

Here is a patched driver for other mute 6500s. Conclusion: there are at least two 6500 versions, and later ones have an external SRS module which requires setting the parallel output bits on the AWACS. https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-strange-case-of-beos-srs-and-silent.html

Tiger was distributed on both CD and DVD. Which image set do you have?

Welcome. I know the feeling.

Sure beats the epoxy old power supplies (notoriously Commodore 8-bit ones) were potted with.

We have audio on the internal speakers now. I'm doing some fiddling, but it did require hacking the AWACS driver. It does look like there are internal differences with later Gazelle systems. More soon.

I'm wondering if the problem is that the chip is not detected as PowerPC big-endian, and thus it tries to set up the JIT, which actually won't work because current compilers are too *new*. What did the configure sequence detect the CPU as?

That surprises me, since SheepShaver's Linux port isn't at all new. What didn't the compiler like?

My first computer was a Tomy Tutor, which is actually closest to the 99/8 (9995, 9918A).

Progress! What you have is the Gobe 5.0.3 release; I used Be's official 5.0. I installed what you did on another partition. There was still no sound through the main speakers, but … the front headphones work! Well, sort of. They’re very scratchy like the sound is being overdriven but BeBeep and...

Yes, all well on the MacOS side. I might use your image on the scratch partition and see if there is any difference.

Probably a good use for a dead C64.

Welcome. I'm sure everyone here is either weird or weird-adjacent. I know I am (you decide which). :)
