So I'm wondering, is that the case for the disks on the ftp and if they are not bootable, what I would need to do to get em running on the G4.Įdit: so I got an email from someone who could sell me a PowerMac 9600/300mhz, which upon research should run OS X Server 1. Apple training delivers everything you need to learn about the technologyonline and on your time. Lookin around online, I've read that one needs Server 1.2 or 1.2v3 for a G4 machine, and that some people have reported (including louisw3 above) that their disks are not bootable.
now one is a g3 (blue&white) and the other is from the first round of G4S made. I been looking around ebay and whatnot for a decent G3/early g4 rig to set up Server 1.x on now I found two PowerMacs at a decent price range, so Im thinking of grabbin one of the two. Use real PowerPC Mac hardware, PearPC or QEMU PPC to emulate this.
The G4 runs OS9-10.4 as well, but being as a G3 can pick up the backend it works a bit better.ĭoin a bit of research and pluggin around in NeXTSTEP & Rhapsody Dr2 got me really into running Mac OS X Server 1.x in the near future. In a new development uncovered by Qemu developer Gerd Hoffmann, Apple has apparently. The G3 can run 8.5-10.4, but for compatibility reasons a 603 is a better choice to me as many programs from that era took advantage of them. PowerPC 603s can run 7.5, but with a PowerPC enabler which might cause problems. I choose these sections of models for compatibility and speed reasons, I honestly don't think a 30 MHz '030 is going to be very fast at all running 8.1 for anything.
Also, it is possible to run a Node.js or Apache webserver from your Mac, but you can just as easily run a similar web server on a Linux web host. Now, one thing is these machines are being stuck right into the middle of their support, such as the SE/30 can run upto 8.1. Node.js is known to always be up-to-date for both Mac and Windows. While the G3 can technically run up to 10.4, it feels sluggish to me, while the Powermac G4 AGP Graphics I have feels a lot faster.
This system remains compatibility for most OSes.įor 10.3-10.5 a G4 tower, 450 MHz+ with a Rage 128 card is a good choice. A quiet post on Apple’s support site last month revealed that the company is significantly dialing back the capabilities of its macOS Server package, the 20 add-on software that turns your Mac. There is no perfect system, for OS 0-7.6 a SE/30 would be an ideal system as it's fast enough to run 7.6 no problems, but doesn't need system enablers.įor OS 8-9.1 a PowerPC 603 or 604 system is best, as they too are fast enough to run at a decent speed (with enough ram, 32 megs or more) but don't require enablers.įor Mac OS 9.2-10.2 Betas a Blue & White G3 with stock Rage 128 card is great.
