    For anyone interested, SD2IDE/mSD2IDE adapters and SD2CF adapters also exist. These can be extremely useful and in the case of the latter worked on my Amiga with a CF2IDE adapter when an actual CF card didn't.
    Seriously, the mSD2IDE made working on my P3 rig allot easier to use e.g. drivers, Ghost backups, etc. and was one of the best purchases I made on that system. It basically turns a regular SD card into an IDE HDD.
    Edit:
    Just remembered, I have the mSD2IDE on secondary IDE, so if I'm messing around with e.g. OS/2 I can disable the primary IDE to protect my DOS/3.11/98SE/2000 install and just put a blank mSD in the adapter.

    • @tech34756
      @tech34756 Місяць тому

      @CoruscationsOfIneptitude I believe they're the usual generic cheap chinese stuff, although the mSD2IDE identifies itself as a "Sintechi high speed cf to ide adapter" in BIOS and my CF adapter says "type 1 UDMA extreme CF adapter"
      Edit:
      Aliexpress might be the cheapest, although I got my mSD2IDE relatively cheap on Amazon and the CF adapter from ebay but that was a few years ago now so prices are likely higher.

      There is another person on YT that tersted a few of these out and had no luck with them. I have a amazon one and it seams to work ok. It finds itself pretty much the same as yours, so there are people who have had issues with these adapters. I think its probably down to the translation chip in them and only some of them working ok with older operating systems...

    IIRC, there was a bunch of code taken from FreeBSD/NetBSD to make OSX and I can only imagine a good portion of that ended up in Rhapsody as well... I only mention it because I recognize that maxmem boot argument being available in the CONFIG file for BSD kernels (although I think in the config file it was defined as another directive).

    • @pappp1428
      @pappp1428 Місяць тому

      The kernel underpinning NextStep/OpenStep/OS X/MacOS/iOS/etc. , which Apple calls XNU, is derived from the Mach microkernel with parts of BSD hybridized in to kernel space for speed. Those ancestors were there from the beginning, originally largely derived from Mach 2.5 and 4.2BSD-Tahoe. Avie Tevanian was one of the core folks when Mach was research at CMU, was hired by NeXT to refine it into their kernel, and oversaw the lineage as a commercial product at NeXT then Apple until 2006. Most of the BSD components in Apple's stack get updates pulled from FreeBSD, and the Mach parts were roughly synced with the last of the OSFMK releases in the late 90s, but (as the last major directly Mach derived project standing) have diverged considerably since. Apple actually publishes their open sources bits, including XNU, but missing enough proprietary bits they integrate to build a system that they aren't terribly directly useful.
      Amusingly enough, the 4.4BSD virtual memory system (which is the ancestor of the memory system in all the modern BSDs) was pollination the other direction - it was derived from Mach in the same era.

    eventually, I got to screens that just flashed a bunch of random numbers all matrix style and my 7 year old son was like “what the heck is that?” and I guess it was each individual file-system blocks or inodes or whatever- I have no clue- but it eventually fixed itself and worked 🤷‍♂️

    I'm not surprised that it would be that difficult finding devices and drivers to work on a pre-release OS which never shipped on Intel at that time. I am also not surprised that after several kernel panics/restarts on a pre-release OS that you would get uncorrectable filesystem errors.

  • @bad.sector

    It's possible the generic S3 driver didn't work with your card as there were quite some technical changes to the 2D core for Virge and later cards. I specifically know as I developed an S3 driver for my graphics library in the 90s.
    You should be fine with an S3 Trio64 (likely until V+, but not V2 or 3D, as it's based on the Virge core or similar), or below (Vision models).

    Back in that day, I installed Rhapsody DR2 (or was it DR1?) on my PowerMac. If I remember correctly, it didn’t include the blue box, nor had any way to execute legacy MacOS applications, and I think that was added when the system name was changed to Mac OS X.
    If you want to try other exotic OS on a Mac, there were a few Linux distributions available, like Yellow Dog. And even before that, Apple had released MkLinux, a very experimental OS based on Linux over a Mach micro-kernel.

      It’s a capture card or a capture device. These devices are essentially a hardware based screen recorder instead of a software based one installed on the OS.

    PLS make a review for the bb navigator for ps2 The BB Navigator for the PS2 was akin to an XMB (Cross Media Bar) user interface for the console. It seemed poised to be the original interface for the PS2, but perhaps due to time constraints, it wasn't implemented at launch. But it will be interesting For you to review it
