@@MaddTheSane Yes, photoshop and some other 3D app included extensions to make use of multiple cpus but it was only an app-based thing, and there were very few of them.And the worst part was the os itself: classic macos crashed a lot no matter what number of cpus you had, making it need to save your work constantly (which was really a problem while working on extensive files like a hundred MB psd or a 3D render). It was really a pity: great hardware with lots of cpu, ram, fast scsi disks and weak macos unable to handle the load.And with BeOS the problem was no commercial grade apps available to take advantage of the rock solid unix-like OS.
I used only Macs for years in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s and I have never even heard of a Genesis brand of Mac clone. I remember Umax, Radius, and Power Computing. I looked up a list of Mac clones and there were way more I had never heard of. In the U.S.. In addition to those three, in the U.S. there was APS Tech, Assistive Tech, Daystar Digital (this Genesis), Hardware Research, Mactell, Mac Warehouse, MacWorks, Marathon, Motorola (who made the chips for the Mac), PowerTools, and Vertegri. There were more in Europe and Asia. Some of the U.S. ones are just computer marketing companies like Mac Warehouse for example. That computer looks to be in super good condition!
I had just started college in the fall of 1995. The academic computing department had some Mac clone. I didn't use them much but I remember them being glitchy. I done know how well they were maintained. I tried using one to do homework using FileMaker Pro.
Curious --- and I skipped through part of the video, so maybe I missed it --- but I'm wondering what 3D acceleration options there were for this machine? We were trying to determine its 3D capabilities only using the CPUs. But, what about a dedicated GPU?
such a cool machine. This would be a dream linux computer back in the days as well. I used to use a beige G3 as a linux computer when those where around. sadly I did not keep it.
Maybe, but I am not sure how good Linux's PPC support or SMP support would have been in 1996. My recollection is that there were huge improvements in SMP in kernel 2.2 (released 1999) and a lot of people were running 2.1.x development kernels on SMP systems prior to that because the 2.0 and earlier kernels were not great at SMP. And a quick Google suggests PPC support for Linux was being added starting in mid-1996, but it's not clear to me whether that PPC port made it to the upstream kernel until 2.2. At the time this Daystar machine came out, kernel 1.2.13 would have been the latest; that's... early... in Linux history.
@@vivienm7 you are right. I guess I included the years it took before I could afford to buy it used into it. :) The Beige G3 was old before I got it as well.
Great video! I remember playing around with Be OS PE and it looked so promising! Just a suggestion, please stop thwacking the mouse, it's quite unpleasant to listen to 😅
yeah, the way BeOS boots must be similar to how A/UX & other BSD things boot on such computers. Mac OS back then had little to no memory protection so in theory, the loader just has to overwrite everything & call it a day.
the video description is "I picked up one of the "Trash can" 2013 Mac Pros for a bargain. So, let's install Linux on it!" you might want to fix that :)
Did you consider intalling Linux on it? It should perform better. Some years ago I had a Power Mac 9500 180/MP (if I remember correctly), that had 2xPPC and Linux was working pretty nicely on it.
- BeOS by the way is amazing. - Is there a Haiku PPC also? - One of the partitions ArchLinuxPOWER? (GOTTA GIT GUDEST AT ARCHIE) - one of the partitions booting OS X Tiger via the old XPostFacto disk images from within macOS 8.6 or 9. (I kinda swear by mSATA SSDs in IDE adapters thanks to their build in TRIM support and built in… nand cache… I think it’s called).I just don’t know how to make vids
Like a quad processor Pentium MMX 133 system I guess? Or maybe a quad AMD 5x86 or quad Cyrix 586? Not really sure of what this PPC variant equated to on the x86 side of things. And isn't the FSB like 33 mhz for this thing?
The teapot was CPU rendering. You need something like a Voodoo card. MacOS was hot garbage. BeOS at least has a multi-CPU scheduler and presumably memory protection. BeOS was awesome. Too bad it died commercially. Pretty cool system. Its a beast.
I have so many questions. What bus do the processors use to communicate? does each CPU has it's own memory bank? Mac os classic had no memory write protection so if the memory is shared the system will be super unstable. How does the system offload task to other CPUs? Mac os classic had no native SMP support until version 9. Is the task offloading done on an application level or system level? if on system level, how? did Daystar had access to mac os source code? How well will this system run a modern NetBSD\OpenBSD?
Any chance Haiku might run on this? Might be something worth testing in the future, though i remember reading that PowerPC support is still being worked on.
I used to sell and install Daystar nPower dual cpu upgrade into Apple PowerMacs and even a few UMAX systems What’s the last version of Classic Mac OS does the Quad Daystar system support with full MP support? What about PowerPC versions of MacOS X?
I feel like Mac OSX is too new for even four 604's, even if you could get drivers and such to work with it. As for max system, I would guess 8.1 or 8.5.
Would be great to see a future video where you try and get OS X 10.2 or something running on this, my understanding is that it can be easily run on a PPC 603/604 platform?
5.03 is the last “official” version, but I used to have a later version that looked like the Dano release on my PowerPC systems. It claimed to be 5.05 or something like that.
my favorite thing about the external apparence of this tower is that somebody had an apple sticker on top of the daystar logo for a while it seems (since it yellowed around it lol)
Since Daystar has special software to support multiple processors, what does Apple do to support multiple processors? The PowerMac 9500 & 9600 have multiple processors? Is there any software that can use both of the processors of the 9500/9600?
Looking at the 4 CPU load meter it looks like the processors never run concurrently but rather one after the other. Using cache or seperate memory per CPU might give a boost anyway but still..
Missed opportunity to run that 3-D demo first with one processor, and then with the four processors. It’s otherwise difficult to get a sense of the performance.
Maybe try to install the MAC OS X version that supports many processors.If I'm not mistaken, the server versions should be supported correctly. It would be nice to replace the video card with a higher-quality one in terms of speed (if possible on clones), for example, by flashing the PC version.

Could A/UX take advantage of multiple processors?
Sadly A/UX was never ported to PowerPC…
A/UX was never released for PowerPC, and as far as I'm aware there aren't any multiprocessor 68K machines either.
@@doq Konami had some dual 68k arcade machines. Obviously they aren't for consumer applications and only 2 games were ever made for it, but it still exists.
@@doq Digging around indicates that Bull DPX/2 310 and 340 machines were multiprocessor 68030-based machines (two and four processors respectively). Original architecture Sony NEWS workstations could have dual 68020 or 68030 processors. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples, even though when multiprocessing was really taking off, manufacturers would already have been moving to RISC processors.
Edit: The BBN Butterfly apparently scaled up to 256 68020 processors!
