Post your obselete (or just old) technology.
Starting with my iMac G5 on Tiger with a 1.8 Ghz PowerPC processor, 1.25 Go of RAM and a 80 Go SATA I HDD.
(If anyone has a clean Leopard ISO that would be cool. I think that's the last version of MasOS it can handle.)
dankpad x200 from 2008
More pics? I think it's pretty neat how you're actually using this machine. My machine may not be considered obsolete by some but it more or less is a relic. Imac 19,1
ITT: We pretend its 2050.
Oh boy SP2 was sure the best update ever!
I jave an iMac G3 that still werks, except the inbuilt speakers, they stopped working long time ago. I also have og os 9 and os X installer cds, and the peripherals that came with the rig. Its good for nothing now as it cant load 99% todays websites, can be used maybe as a word processor
Forgot pic

>x200
It's not a dankpad you nigger
i used to have this but it was shitty because it only ran mac os 9 and nothing else would install on it properly. also it had only a cd drive so it was not possible to install x
also simple things like replacing the hdd required damaging the case
But os X came on cd. I recently did a clean install, the fucking slotin cd drive didnt want to spit out the disc. I hate it with a passion
mine only came with mac os 9 cdr
apparently you can stick a long object in a corner on the drive and the disc will come out. i used to do that often with mine when the disc would not come out.
Yes but its old, i did that and even with that it took ca 10 mins to force the fucker out.
Probably had to purchase it separately, idk it came with mine but i bought it second hand
leopard 10.5.4:
mega.nz
be warned, leopard's way slower than tiger on ppc
3rd gen ipad from 2012
Are you sure this isn't only the update from 10.5.0 to 10.5.4 ?
>posting stuff from 10-20 years ago
Come on guys.
If its obsolete, why not.
Can’t you do a netinstall on that computer?
Many of us would like to start a fistfight with you mate
How's this?
It's an obsolete tech thread, not just /retro/
I don't consider things truly obsolete unless it takes a considerable amount of effort/time and know-how to get it to do things that modern systems can do today.
A decade ago systems can still get online, read/write media and still do a majority of stuff with no effort. 20 years ago, pushing boundaries of ease of access but still possible to get online and do regular stuff (even USB was becoming commonplace).
Real obsolete shit you have to go through hoops to get something working on a modern and somewhat useful way. It's not for everyone but to those that do so it's rewarding as fuck to get an old system online or to have a modern purpose (even if it's as simple as a BBS terminal or a word processor).
I've just googled what a NetInstall is.
I'm a fucking brainlet.
How could I install Leopard with this feature ?
I agree, brainlet. No, keep your shitty mac products to yourself.
Not bad there. XT with a color display.
Also nice Trinitron, picked up a G500 recently from a place that had a literal pile of Trinitrons.
Got a whole box of it
I would consider it obselete when basic webbrowsing becomes a pain in the ass.
Now my iMac G5 is still a fine jukebox/electronic typewriter.
It's kind'a deprecated and showing it's age these days, but I find it comfy, familiar and still some good use left in it. Needs a bit of maintenance and maybe polish it up some, though.
Not really obsolete, but old nonetheless.
Also, I bought this newspaper the other day and it came with a record that talks about this kid "Milton" and a guy building sand castles and shit. The bollocks is this???
Gotta love Sup Forums stripping the EXIF.
You pieces of shit rotate it yourselves. I'm fed up with hirojewt's crap.
Thanks mate.
I'm on a 2005 iBook G4 running Debian Sid (and also dual-booting OS X Leopard). It's pretty nice and usable. Much less obsolete than a lot of newer Apple hardware.
I've never used OS X much. Is there some way of producing an OS X Leopard installer ISO from a running installation? Mine is 32-bit though I dunno if that would be best for a ppc64 G5, or if it would make any difference or if that's even possible at all. By the way, there's an actively maintained fork of Firefox with Altivec optimizations and OS X 10.4 / 10.5 UI integrations called TenFourFox which you might be best running rather than Safari. Works pretty well for me. Right now I'm on Debian's build of Firefox ESR though which generally works alright but WebMs seem a little messed up.
>Go
Frenchie comfirmed
Hey, I thought I was the only one here using an iBook unironically.
By the way, I have a Firefox ESR package compiled specifically for the 7447. WebMs still have funky colors and stuff (I think that has something to do with the GPU driver not flipping the endianness of the colorspace properly or something like that, haven't found a way to fix it).
If you want it, just ask.
D-d-delete this
I have used a Thinkpad T60 as my only computer for the best part of 4 years now. I said I'd get a new PC when I had the money, but I've grown really attached to it. Time has been very patient with it.
Send it pls. Also how did you build it exactly? From Debian source packages or manually from upstream? Did you cross-compile?
my.mixtape.moe
'ere you go familia. It's compiled from the Debian sources, cross-compiled it on my XServe G5. Tried compiling it on the iBook, but I just stopped it at the 12h mark. didn't want to fry the poor thing.
CFLAGS were: -O2 -mcpu=7450 -maltivec -mabi=altivec
Here you go OP:
macintoshgarden.org
Macintosh Garden is blacklisted from pretty much all search engines, so it's a bit hard to find. It's the first place I turn to when I need software for old Macs. The link has all the versions of OS X for PPC.
I've got a PowerMac G5 OP
dual core 2.0ghz, 1GB of RAM
10.4 Leopard
Thank you mr anomalous. Something seems messed up with the fonts now but I'll just have to mess with it a bit
Just got my hands on one of these the other day. Works pretty good minus a fried battery and the speakers being garbage, Might try and max it out at some point - just a bit underpowered for what I want to do with it.
Windows 98SE is extremely comfy. Reminds me of better times.
I have a powermac G4. What are some cool things I can do with it? Even for web browsing it's practically useless because it's so slow.
What are the specs?
Install Debian on it?
Run a web server.
Use it as a NAS.
