Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh

Post by narke »

Some weeks ago I asked to be helped to buy a Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh, finally I have found another seller who accepted to ship outside USA.
So now I have one sitting in my room.

I also wrote that I would port NetBSD on that machine, I did more research on this subject and it appears that the OpenFirmware is broken on that machines and NetBSD boots from the OpenFirmware so I think that would be near to impossible to do such a port but maybe the sources of the quik bootloader can help.

However I managed to install an old Yellow Dog Linux 2.1 (it was out around 2002) with little tricks.

Finally I inclined to port AROS on that machine, I'm studying slowly how to do it.

The next thing I need to do is to extend the RAM from 32 MB to 128 MB.

The sound made by Bose is absolutely fantastic, It's like you are in a movie theater.
It receives radio (tested) and TV (not yet tested).
