Running Mac OS X Natively on Pegasos

Posted by pudge on from the emulation-is-for-weenies dept.

Peter writes "The Pegasos is an interesting new platform, being one of the very few affordable non-Apple PowerPC systems. But to be a real alternative for me, I want it to run Mac OS X directly (without the need to use Mac-on-Linux or such). Have any of you Slashdot readers done this, and how much hacking did it take?" The Pegasos currently uses a G3/600, and ships with Debian Linux for PowerPC and MorphOS.

  1. Apple ROM by ChiefArcher · · Score: 0, Redundant

    My guess is it won't work. Apple has always put a ROM on the motherboard that tells it how to boot Mac OS's (and what versions NOT to boot).

    This computer probably doesn't have the licensed Apple ROM and therefore will not boot any Mac OS without some serious hardware mods.
