I have 14 inch TV and it has issue of blue colour dominating the image, causing black to be blue etc and it's really annoying

If you're having so much trouble with booting off of your Firewire drive, wouldn't it make sense to just buy a blank CD? I'm not saying you couldn't get the Firewire setup to work (so maybe you find my post unhelpful), but blank CDs are about 20 cents in the United States when bought in bulk. I don't know where you're posting from but surely they're not much more than that anywhere else... Maybe you could save yourself a lot of time and headache by just biting the bullet.

Hopefully someone gets back to work on the project... I thought after like 7 years they would have figured out how to get 2 GB of RAM usable. Pretty disappointing that the project seemly stopped like that.

It's pretty cool to see you folks get a whole 128 MB above the original limit. Hopefully progress has been made since 2017 - I wanna see if the limit was successfully increased to 2048 MB. Any news?

Nothing really changed. The available memory can't go past 0x68060000 because that's where the 68k Emulator's code lives. And there's several other well-known regions at 0x68080000 (the 68k Emulator's dispatch table), 0x68FFE000 (the Kernel Data Page), and 0x68FFF000 (the Emulator Data Page). Quite a few random parts of the Toolbox ROM and System File reference these parts of the address space, so they can't really be moved.

So increasing the limit further would need modifications to the Process Manager, and maybe the Memory Manager too. I'm pretty sure there were attempts to investigate them, but they petered out quite a while ago.

hi all, new to the forum. i'm trying to install OS 9 on my PowerBook 12" 867hz Aluminum, it looks like someone else on the forum achieved this but there's no info as to how. any and all links to useful information tell me that the topic is off limits to me? can anyone help me out with this?

as for the PB 12", i've used the unsupport G4 installer and restored the .iso to a FW external drive. i formatted the external to Mac OS X Extended and added OS 9 drivers, restored the .iso to the drive, but just get floppy disk question mark at boot. i tried blessing the system folder, no dice. any suggestions?

The guy selling them is still selling them, but wont sell or ship to the EU anymore so I need an alternative source.

That guy is Andy Cuffe, the same guy who recaps probably enough MDD PSU's here in the US to pay his mortgage every month…
He can't ship to the EU or GB because of the new GPSR (General Product Safety Regulations) recently enacted on your side of the pond. Technically, such a cable is an electronic product and requires him to act like a manufacturer.

Don't you feel safer already?

Tell you what Knez… if it comes down to it, I'll buy one from him here and reship it to you. You can PayPal me the money. HOWEVER:
We're talking like, $50 + $4 US tax + $7 ship = $61 US just to get it to ME, plus whatever it takes to ship it to YOU, so probably $70-$75 total.

Personally, I'd invest in a pin tool and swap the ATX lines into the MDD plug. Then you only need a little plug for the 12v drives. One of those should be easy to source near you.

I'm here if you need …   :)

not long ago i tried to refind the person on that german north sea island who recaps originals, he was the last one offering that, but he vanished as it seems.
