Hardware / My Mac(s)
March 07, 2008, 11:06 |
I have Performa 6400/180 (upgraded with Sonnet G3 300, ext. SCSI CD-ROM, ext. SCSI 20Gb drive, ATI 128 video); Blue&White G3 350 (upgd. with DVD+-RW, Radeon video, new HD); Graphite G4 450 ("Digital Audio" model) with DVD+-RW and 160 Gb HD (it's only 128 here). The most used is Yosemite (System 9.2.2 and OS X 10.2), but time-to-time I use them all. |

Linux' kernel isn't suitable for McOS Re (remember, main goal is to support powerpc apps as well as other stuff -- and 68k too, via nanokernel's emulator). And Linux' kernel isn't perfect (or even good -- forgive me, Linux' guys), I saw the source. >> I have seen a Linux with a desktop and >> fully working drag'n drop Dock of OS X. A-Dock in OS 9.x behaves much better than that one in OS X. Just for example, dropping a document onto application with a space. |

Off Topic Discussion / Meet McOS Re!
November 20, 2007, 07:49 |
Hello! I am the main (and the only) developer of the "McOS Re" project. I suppose (there's no surprise for me) that you've never heard about it. But "Re" might be very interesting to you, because it is dedicated to open sourcely (re)create, (re)write and improve the Traditional ("Classic", "True") Mac OS for the PowerPC family of microprocessors. It will be incredibly fast (due to the fact it's being written entirely in PowerPC assembly and from scratch), and also as stable as I can do it. "Fresh system without reboot" will be one of the OS's features, as well as ability to enable protected memory mode and to choose multitasking mode: single/cooperative/preemptive. In all others (like look-and-feel and simplicity), McOS Re is "based" (or "inspired") by Apple's System Software versions 1.0 thru 9.2.2, and will have all the best from them. McOS Re will also support more PowerPC-based boxes (definitely, all Apple's, and most PReP & CHRP ones) than the original Mac OS 9 did. Note that McOS Re is still in its childhood stages (not at a "practical use" stage). It is primarily due to the fact that I'm the only one developer.
