Yeah, an older setup is really going to help... A dual core would be the only real next step up. Another P4 MB with an AGP or PCI-E slot might work, but this was the best test bed machine I had lying around. I really don't want it on any of the 4 other similar or faster P4ish machines I have that I use for real purposes. (2 Servers, multimedia PC and primary workstation)
I have an old Blueberry iMac with Tiger on it that I only really use to support my parents who have macs. Even with a gig of RAM and a 7200RPM drive, it is quite slow (G3-450 I think)
This was just kind of a challenge to see what I could get to work without spending any money. In many ways, it was like the old days of Windows DLL hell and Linux package dependencies before APT and YUM made everything mostly better. Quite primitive in this day of one button installers and automatic updates.
As far as I can tell, neither T or L will boot from a slave drive from anything but P1. They both Panic even though Darwin correctly identifies them. T actually won't boot even from P1 as slave via Darwin, but Cash0 run from Windows boot.ini finds it and starts it correctly. I am going to put one of them on a different drive on the Secondary master and see if I can get to all 3 that way. There doesn't appear to be a way to control what Cash0 does. It links to whatever HFS+ it finds first as far as I can tell.
Yes, this is how unemployed nerds entertain themselves after they have completed the Internet.
And Tyson, there is no awesome porn on the intarweb, only bad-good and that may be generous. All awesome porn is live and interactive!
