10.2 (Jaguar) on the mini

[TheBasement]

For reasons to do with LocalTalk I’m wanting to install OS 10.2 onto a G4 Mac Mini. Minimum supported os is 10.3
I’ve put in a hard drive with an existing install of 10.2.8 (server) and it boots but there’s no video drivers so the screen is just a weird black and white unscaled mess.
Now someone has managed to update the drivers by copying the driver bundle from 10.3. They also updated the Kext and the binary. Heres the post.

So my question is, how does one modify the binary file?

Thanks!

LocalTalk and OSX?

Yes it is delicious! 10.2 is the most recent OS that can still communicate with unmodified System 6 using AppleTalk, can also communicate with OS13 via modern Ethernet protocols. It’s the sweet spot for a cross generational file server.
