MorphOS: PowerMac emulator SheetEater 0.8
Michal 'rzookol' Zukowski has released SheetEater, a Power Macintosh emulator for MorphOS that allows the PowerPC versions of Mac OS to run in a MorphOS window or on their own screen. However, despite JIT emulation, a computer with a processor speed of more than 1.5 GHz is required.

The Syquest Part 1. 27 years ago, I shut down this 1994 Syquest and its 88MB cartridge for the last time. It stayed in a box all this time, until I recently decided to plug it into the Power G4 I acquired a few months ago.
For that, I bought an Adaptec SCSI 2930 card and the appropriate cable... But when I plug the Syquest into the Mac and boot, I get a gray screen with the mouse cursor... nothing happens until I shut down the Syquest, and then the Mac boots up normally. It seems I need a SCSI terminator... to be continued...

👕🚴♂️ Oh wow, a riveting tale of how #debugging Power Macintosh #emulation is like assembling #IKEA furniture—tedious, multilingual, and leaving you questioning your #life #choices. But fear not, our hero emerges with screenshots of... progress? Or was it a cry for help? 🤔🔧

I haven't turned this computer on in a few months, and really haven't used it for much at all since last year, when I verified it was working.
They had AppleWorks 6 installed on here. Really, this is about all I need in a word processor. Clean interface, functional, gets out of my way.

I just added another BIN/CUE disc image to "Kai's Photo Soap" on the Internet Archive. It's 80MB bigger than just the plain ISO file, which might be the Power Macintosh version of the program, but I'm not sure.

Veronica Explains bringt ein neues Video, wie man Linux auf einen alten 90'er Jahre #PowerMac installiert. Da musste ich an meine Erfahrungen mit dem PowerMac G5 denken. Da hatte ich nach dem #OSX eine ganze Zeit lang #Gentoo Linux drauf laufen. Das hat mir am Anfang echt viele graue Haare gebracht. 🧓🍏🐧
Aber last not least lief es dann sehr flott auf der alten Kiste, bis mit dann das ständige Kompilieren zuviel wurde und ich die Hardware verkaufte.

Früher war der #PowerMac und dann der #MacPro die maximal leistungsfähige Kiste, bei der alles zugänglich, austausch- und aufrüstbar war. Der Rechner, den man als Power User haben wollte. Ich habe immer noch einen bis zum Rand ausgespeckten MacPro 5,1 (von 2010!) im Einsatz, den wahrscheinlich am besten designten Computer aller Zeiten. Dann kam der Tischmülleimer, der komplett überteuerte 7,1 und der M2-PowerMac, der so unflexibel wie ein Mac Studio, nur ein einem deutlich größeren Gehäuse, war.

The Mac Pro has been discontinued.
"It’s the end of an era: Apple has confirmed to 9to5Mac that the Mac Pro is being discontinued. It has been removed from Apple’s website as of Thursday afternoon. The “buy” page on Apple’s website for the Mac Pro now redirects to the Mac’s homepage, where all references have been removed.
Apple has also confirmed to 9to5Mac that it has no plans to offer future Mac Pro hardware."

I'm running late, but I am enjoying reading all of this #Marchintosh stuff. It's making me feel that I should poke my own PowerMac with a stick, too.
I have a Graphite PowerMac with dual 450 MHz G4s and a clean install of OS 10.4.6. I am also nearly entirely unfamiliar with this era of Macs. Is there a safe and reasonable way to get applications on here over the Internet anymore? Or am I stuck with ferrying software over at USB 1.1 speeds?

Je suis très content que le #PowerMac est allé aujourd'hui à @MonniauxD, il est dans des très bonnes mains et restera fidèle à sa vocation.

Y a-t-il des passionné.e.s d’anciens ordinateurs #Apple sur #Grenoble ? Je donne un #PowerMac G4 400MHz avec son écran cathodique. Il manque le disque dur et l’alimentation originale a été remplacée avec une alimentation de PC. J’avais monté un convertisseur DC/DC pour obtenir les 28V pour l’écran. C’est une très très belle machine, mais je ne l’utilise pas et elle prend trop de place chez moi. #retrocomputing EDIT : merci beaucoup ! L'ordinateur ira dans des excellentes mains !

@janmontag Der PowerMac G5 ist einfach toll! Ich hatte jahrelang den Intel Nachfolger, den Mac Pro 4,1 in seinem großen Aluminium Tower. Das Design war einfach zeitlos schön. Hab inzwischen nur noch einen Mac mini M4 als einzigen Mac übrig. Der hat mittlerweile aber vermutlich mehr Leistung als der alte, große Mac Pro.

I've posted all the hardware I'm giving away for now, so please scroll back and let me know if you want anything that's still unclaimed. If it was posted on or after December 9th and doesn't have an EDIT at the top saying it's been claimed, it's still up for grabs! :apple_inc: 😆

Free to a good home: The drive sled for the 5 1/4" bay of a PowerMac. It can also accommodate a 3 1/2" drive. :apple_inc:

Free to a good home: A SCSI ribbon cable that accommodates three drives. The way it's folded on itself made me think it came out of a 7600, but I don't think the space between the drive connectors would allow it to reach all three SCSI bays. 🤔 :apple_inc:
