Mach/Darwin Binary Compatibility Hacker Interviewed

Posted by timothy on from the how-ya-doin dept.

chromatic writes "Following up on an earlier story on NetBSD's fledgling Mach and Darwin binary compatibility layer, I've interviewed Emmanuel Dreyfus, who leads the project. The key questions are "what is it?", "what is it not?", and "what does it mean?""

    I'm running Jaguar on my unsupported PowerMac right now! Thanks to XPostFacto. My PMac 9600/300 to be exact. Upgraded to a G3-500 and it works fine, a little slow but fine. Installed a Radeon 7000 PCI and turned on Quartz Extreme.

    It's not a new PMac, but at least I'm getting life out of a 5+ year old system. I plan to upgrade to a G4-700 and get some more life out of it. All that and 6PCI slots and 1.5GB of ram.

    This will be it until the 970 Macs are mature.
