Operating System / Re: System 7 natively boots on the Mac mini G4!
December 04, 2025, 15:04 |
@RossDarker - Excellent work! I installed on a G4 Mac Mini "silent upgrade". When booted from the CD I did not see any of my Firewire partitions so I booted from Mac OS9 (installed a few years ago from your v9 installer!) instead and used System Restore to put your image on one of the Firewire partitions. Worked fine and I'm now booted into 7.6.1! For some reason I get a very corrupted display if my monitor is connected via DVI. From a VGA adaptor it is a nice and crisp 640x480. I'm guessing it needs the ATI9200 drivers to drive the 1900x1200 LCD at its default resolution but when booted from VGA it just uses 640x480. I also saw this with a 7.5.5 (install with the hacked 10.2.1 rom and System Enabler) I put on a different partition earlier in the week. How cool is all this! (First post here too!). EDIT - When connected via a VGA cable the MONITORS control panel gives me a range of resolutions and I can choose 1600x1200. That's the maximum I can get under Mac OS9 too. When connected via a DVI cable there are no other resolutions available. |
