[Scribia-dev] Os x on old world

[Cygnus <cy...@po...>]

Here's the link to get OS X running on old world machines:

Ryan's also the guy that wrote the L2cache config utility.  It works pretty
well, I've gotten that same results with it as I have with XLR8's and
Powerlogic's.  

Couple notes to hopefully make your life easier.

You said that you have a TwinTurbo.  I don't remember if the clones had
built in video or not.  If it does and you're only running 1 monitor, you
may need to connect either a monitor or monitor adapter to the built in
video.  With some of the apple branded machines, there has been problems
with kernal panics on boot with no monitor hooked to the built in video.
Having the adapter on makes the machine think there's something hooked up to
it.  So you're technically running in a dual monitor mode even though you
actually only have one.  When booting into X, have a little patience with
the monitor connected to the TwinTurbo.  It doesn't turn on monitor's off of
the built in until shortly into the boot cycle.  I think it takes about
20-30 seconds after hitting the power key for my monitor that's on my
voodoo3 to come out of sleep.  With OS 9, it comes on right away.   Built in
does turn on right away though.

The other thing that really gave me fits was that OS X didn't like to be on
scsi bus 0 with my upgrade card in.  Seems there's some sort of conflict
there, probably something with the timings.  If I put in the old 604e it
would boot or if I put os x on either scsi bus 1 or on my pci ide
controller.

Good luck if you try it.
