Hi from Spain

Hi everyone, I'm here with the intention of getting my old PowerMac G4 MDD DP 1.25 up and running, and maybe getting my old Macintosh LC475 working again.

Best regards.

Hello and a warm welcome ivimail!

“We” do speak MDD (in many various configurations) around here.
And probably a bit of some LC475 too.

Just had my G4 MDD DP 1.25 GHz booted here yesterday. :)

ivimail:
Glad to read that. My PowerMac is actually working now, but I need to find answers about macOS 9's multi-CPU capability and try to find a working macOS 9 installer for that machine, in spanish. I don't have the original disc. I made a copy-and-paste install from what I suspect is a PowerBook image, but everything seems to be working.

I also plan to replace the SCSI drive on the LC475 with one of those MicroSD adapters.

aBc:
Ahh, just had a similar topic here regarding MDD OS Install Disc set downloads.
https://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=7518.msg58193#msg58193

And while OP didn’t report what was finally used, it was suggested that the first
two downloads noted from:
https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/power-mac-g4-software-install-restore
...might best be used. As for Spanish versions / conversions, I can think of at
least two of our current resident Spanish members, may assist you with that.

As for the multi-CPU (multi-processing) features of the MDD, very few apps
actually make any use of that specifically. So, up to your personal discretion.

And a MicroSD in an LC475?
Again, others more likely to respond / help.

My main question about the multi cpu on os9 is if it works as is or if I need any enabler/extension. This is because a few days ago I used cinebench (I don't remember what version) and I could execute all of the benchmarks except the multi cpu one, that was disabled.

It's obvious that OS9 runs great on a single G4, but if I can also have support for multiple CPUs...
