I'm not a big expert on the subject of internet security, but relaying on what is called "security through obscurity" is never a good idea Yes, I'm aware that TenFFox is more up to date than Classilla - what I don't know is whether the former is faster on a G4 running Tiger or Leopard (where it's very slow - and slower still on a G3) than the latter is on 9.2.2 You will be able to run OS 9 and OS X on that iBook, as it's dual boot.

when I'm tired of mac OS 9.2 i will try the beginning of the unix-based era.

I bough that specific iBook so that i will be able to install also OS X from the 10.0 beta to 10.3. TenfourFox is a fork of firefox and as such it is definitely more up to date. The most recent build is from 2013 and even back then it was not exactly cutting edge. I have been using Classilla on the iBook as it is the most modern browser available (the iBook has an airport card supporting wireless b network at a whopping 11 Mbps with no security/encryption whatsoever) but it is essentially the old mozilla code with several back portings from more recent browsers. Surprisingly, the iBook is much faster than Classics on the Mini, even with CPU intensive applications like doom, quake, duke nukem, the iBook leaves classics in the dust. I have used until 2014 as a download machine for torrent and eMule, but now HDD is too small for anything useful.Įnryfox wrote:A couple of weeks ago I bought an iBook (snowwhite dual USB with a G3 500 MHz) and I have been running Mac OS 9.22, just for fun. Too bad the mini is essentially useless these days: too old to run anything recent (tried web-browsing with tenFourFox and it is sooo sloooow), too recent to run natively anything mac OS classic. I should try to run Norton benchmark and compare it to Sheepshaver results.
It seems that stutters are related to sound playback. I'm not sure it even exists a 2 GB or 4 GB module PC-2700 or PC-3200 on 184 pins format.Īnyway with both Os X and the classic environment loaded I still have more than 300 Mb of free memory which should be more than enough to play old titles like Monkey Island II (my basilisk II machine is configured with 256 MB and runs perfectly). In later years I swapped the ram module and plugged in a Pc-2700 1 Gb and that according to any specs is the maximum supported.

It's the 1st gen of Mac Mini back from 2005: it was originally sold with 256 Mb and Mac Os X 10.3, but when I bought mine (July 2005) it was upgraded to 512 Mb and Mac OS X 10.4.
Uhm, are you sure about the 4 GB memory support ? I thought Classic would execute the code almost at CPU speed as there is no translation (except for system calls) but either the Mac Mini is not a great performer (actually it wasn't even back in its days) or Classic has way too many bottlenecks. I tried some games both 68k (Monkey island 2) and PPC (Doom II, Duke Nukem, The Incredible Machine 3) and to my surprise, Basilisk II and Sheepshaver on my current iMac are much faster and more compatible! Duke Nukem does not even start in Classic while it plays fine (smooth and no stutter) in SS Monkey Island 2 has some stutters in Classic while in BII it runs perfectly. This mac does not boot in Mac Os 9 (even hacking the ROM it does not boot anyway) and classic is the only option. ) and installed a fresh copy of the original OSX 10.4 updated to latest release (10.4.11) and then installed the Classic Environment. Today I resurrected my old Mac Mini (1st gen from 2005, PPC G4 1,25 GHz, 1 GB RAM.
