Operating System / Re: System 7 natively boots on the Mac mini G4!
December 04, 2025, 01:07 |
Hello, new to the System 7 Today Forums here! As discussed at Mac OS 9 Lives, I've been looking into creating a System 7 Installer CD for the Mac mini. Today I've put together a Mac OS 7.6.1 Restore CD. The disc makes use of Apple Software Restore. The system that is restored is the same as the system installed by the retail 7.6.1 CD, with the addition of the custom Mac OS ROM and patched System Enabler 356. Nothing else is changed, and thus it's rather experimental for now. I've called it "Test Version 0.1". Here's a link to the iso: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u936FucCak17UsFCR_CYd-CQonXUyRcI This can be burned to a blank disc, and booted by holding the C key on start-up. Note that the Startup Disk Control Panel does not appear to work. After installing, I would recommend holding the mouse button after restarting to eject the disc. A disc present in the drive might have caused issues at startup on some occasions. I would also recommend having Mac OS 9 installed on a separate partition. I liked Jatoba's 'Final Remarks' section from the first post of this thread, and have included this in the credits in the Read Me file on the CD. Thanks to everyone again who has made this possible. Looking forward to more people experimenting with System 7! |
