I've just done it only with mTCP and the Packet Driver. :0)

No Microsoft Network Client or Novell installed.

My #Intel #Macbook 13" White Polymer (Model: A1181 - 2007) running #Linux Mint 21.3 (Cinnamon), this time!

You can change the hard drive in less than 2 minutes on this kind of machine.

Still fast and fine! :0)

Ok, alternately I can try installing Snow Leopard on my 2007 MacBook for "ISO" image .TOASTing (lol). 😂

I can't find the original installed MacOS hard drive for now.

@tw000

Not a french version, but in case: It's a valid ISO.

"Mac OS 9.2.1 Original Copy".

:0)

Let's see!

#apple #imac #G3 #PowerPC #mac #macintosh #ISO #toast #macos #oldcomputers #oldcomputing #retrocomputers #retrocomputing #archiveorg

I was even able to run Windows 10 on them as an experiment, and it worked. The hard drive came from another recent Intel machine, and the drivers were updated booting. Of course, Windows 10 is greedy, and I don't recommend it. But a Windows 7 would be perfect too.

Anyway, we were talking about Linux. It's better to install Linux on these MacBooks to use them again ;0))

#apple #intel #mac #macbook #macintosh #opensource #linux #debian #oldcomputers #oldcomputing #retrocomputers #retrocomputing

The only way to burn a .TOAST image is with a MAC? Or do we have an alternative?

I need to burn an Install CD for MacOs 9.2.1 (fr) to restore an iMac G3.

#apple #imac #G3 #PowerPC #mac #macintosh #ISO #toast #macos #oldcomputers #oldcomputing #retrocomputers #retrocomputing

My #Intel #Macbook 13" White Polymer (Model: A1181 - 2007) running #Linux #Debian 12.8.

Even with the latest version of #MacOs that the machine accepts, forget the web. This is THE solution (Linux) to continue using this machine on a daily basis!

& fast and fine! :0)

The Zune is a killer mp3 player despite the crap it got. I LOVED my Zune.

I got a bit sad just now - on this early 2000s Dell I re-set up the other day, there's some old Zune art files on it. Some jerk broke my car window and took my Zune from my car when I lived in Florida probably ~2006. I had a beautiful brown one like the one below, and I'd still have it today if that dick hadn't taken it.

I WILL buy another one someday. 🔥

Going through some old photos, from ten years ago, I came across the one I used when I sold my Sharp Zaurus SL-5500.

Seeing it again brought back nostalgic memories. I really liked the form factor, which was easy to hold in one hand. The flip up screen cover was practical, and the slide-out keyboard was really useful. It was aesthetically pleasing, too.

I miss you, old friend.
