@electron8262 Yes, even though it seems like a long option that uses --, it's actually a short option, "-f", with a parameter (no-math-errno in this case)
Two pins might be touching with solder at ~4:06, maybe that caused a fault? Either way, I love your shenanigans, thank you for always trying the things I would.
The compiler instructions for Classiccube may only work for the Intel version of BeOS, and later revs thereof. I seem to remember there were minor differences in compiler options between the two versions which could cause some headaches.
The output says "mwcc" which could mean Metrowerks C Compiler, GCC might not have the same problem if you can find it. There was definitely a stack size limit on PowerPC compilers back in the day, I don't recall if it was only on Metrowerks, though it was the most popular. The fix was to make stack-based allocations on the heap (using malloc/free) or possibly using alloca() to work around it. For example the declaration "char bigarray[ 32*1024 ];" would produce this error.
@@darrell857 That sounds familiar. I can't remember if I avoided that by allocating my buffers on the heap for the graphics engine I was writing at the time...
BeOS was a great OS. I installed it the first time when it was at release 3, and I still have the R5.0.3 with drivers and apps downloaded from the old app website. It was very fast and very stable, I still love it!
@@eugenioguasco2791 I used the x86 version for as long as I could, but the stupid Win modems of the time forced me to move to Windows. Thanks to MS illegal actions, we lost an amazing OS.
@protonrecuva6717 I know and sadly, that group has wasted a lot of time and opportunities with it. Sadly, we will never get either BeOS not HaikuOS in a proper way .
I used to own a Quadra 700 and it was getting long-in-the-tooth. I was going to grab one of these, or better yet, make my own from parts when Jobs cancelled the clone program. That is when I decided to "Go to the dark side". I've always been intrigued by these machines.
Thanks to This Does not Compute for lending you this. When watching this system on that channel I was wondering what you would have done with it if you got your hands on it. Hope no one hurt their backs.
6:40 of which the monouser, coop-pseudo multitasking non-memory protected, macos 7.5.x could use just one.For a beast like that 9500MP clone you have picked the right multiuser, multimedia-oriented, real multitasking, protected-memory BeOS, which incidentally was considered as a contender for the "next-gen" macos classic successor by Apple itself (and finally losing to NextStep based MacOS X from Jobs himself).
@@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!
In the ‘90s a company I was working for gave me a BeBox with BeOS obviously to play with and use as a daily if I wanted to. I used it for about a year. The video/audio I/O was really fast of course. Same company gave me a Motorola Mac Clone to play with too.
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.
Ah, thank you, I've been waiting for this video for a while! Now do Gentoo Linux! Thanks a lot to Colin @ThisDoesNotCompute for providing the quad-604 PPC machine!
I just wonder if it's possible to get some form of modern Linux running on it. Everything is probably still too heavy, though, even for a quad 604. Anything older than a G3 typically is no go.
@@skinwalker69420 Gentoo sounds funnier. Apparently the Daystar Genesis MP can support 1.5 gigs of RAM (that's actually the same my G4 quicksilver supports), so memory is at least not going to be a bottleneck.
@@HaveYouTriedGuillotines I think the only modern option which will run smoothly, will be Alpine Linux 32-bit. In a headless configuration. Or with a minimal XFCE desktop.
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.
These shenanigans are amazing. I love to see you giving BeOS some love. I used it very limitedly on a 366mhz Celeron E-machines in the early 2000's. Neat OS, but sadly under developed for daily use.
don't know if u will see this. I love that sony CRT! Awesome video for me to wake up and watch n sip coffee too in the mornin!!! Keep it up, whenever i cant afford stuff to work on and mess with, i always know u got the good vintage tech videos. You, LGR, And Action Retro, are among my top tech tubers! KEEP IT UP! Happy new yr.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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)
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?
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 😅
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?
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
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
And before watching the video to the end... And now you are going to upgrade it to the fastest quad CPU's ever produced, that you could fit inside ? Right ?
