So there were (2)
different 1.0 GHz eMacs?
One with USB 1.1 and a PowerPC 7445 processor… and another one (a “hybrid”?) with USB 2.0 (and which processor)?
The 1.25 GHz eMac (USB 2.0) has the 7447a processor with a System Bus Speed of 167 MHz and can boot the unsupported OS 9.2 installation - while the (standard?) 1.0 GHz has a Bus Speed of 133 MHz.
And I don’t know if it works the same as the 1.25 GHz… when it comes to the “unsupported approach”.
Anyone better acquainted with this scenario? Anyone running a bootable, standalone version of 9.2 on the same (possibly) “hybrid” 1.0 GHz eMac?
With USB 2.0 - are you certain that it is a 1.0 GHz eMac… OR that it actually has USB 2.0?
*Also (upon a closer reading) from EveryMac.com:
*Please note that there also is a 1.0 GHz variant of this model that was released exclusively to education. (Noted under 1.25 GHz eMac specs.) Which I suppose may mean that it also might have the 7447a processor?
Check your processor, bus speed and graphics specifics. Therein may lie the proverbial rub... here.
