Currently setting up an old G3 and am in the process of setting up a couple of partitions for dual boot OS as certain software requires different operating systems.
I have an Akai S3200 (non XL)with latest 2.0 firmware. Does anyone know the OS I would need to run mesa?
Version 1 of mesa says I need OS 7 to install it, which is fine, but I have seen comments from people stating they use OS 8.1, which I can’t understand because all the versions I see state OS7.
I’m pretty sure I can’t use mesa ll with my S3200 ??
Also would anyone know which version of Recycle would operate with my sampler?? Recycle 2 states I need OS 8.6, so I’m getting into a bit of an OS rabbit hole here 😂😂
Yes you can have multiboot. It is sometimes good to have 8.1, 8.6, 9.0 and 9.2.2 for testing old software.
I don't have good answer (I don't know much that Akai model and not used Mesa), but you can try:
1. Try MESA II, you have updated firmware, maybe it can work.
2. If you try MESA 1:
- Try it with Mac OS 8.1:

- Set no more than 256 screen colors.
Actually have you tested does it work in 9.2.2 with reduced colors?
Tell how those versions work, if they do not work.or work.
