Toot

I had this project to install MacOS 9 on a Mac Mini G4.

It is the very last PowerPC Mac that is supported by a community modded edition of "classic" MacOS. And thanks to the excellent 68K emulation, it is able to run most of the pre-OSX Mac software, up to 1984!

It was very modest when it came to the market in 2005, but with its 1.25GHz G4 CPU, it is a war machine compared to even the PowerMacs intended to run MacOS 7 to 9. A true "super-computer" in a very small footprint 😉

Thanks again to everyone who helped me with OS9 🙂
