BONUS VIDEO: Increasingly Desperate Attempts to Boot OSX on the TAM
Added 2023-04-28 03:11:17 +0000 UTCLet's try to get an OS X installer booting on the G3 TAM. I'm sure it's probably super easy.

Hey so I’m here after you traded the TAM, did you ever figure out why it wasn’t booting? It seems pretty hopeless based on this video, so I’m curious as to how your attempts developed after this!

2023-05-02 11:22:18 +0000 UTCAwesome work. If memory serves you can edit a plist on the cd-rom that changes the list of supported Macs (it’s based on ID numbers, and I just don’t remember the specifics because I did something similar around the early 2ks). Hope some googling might give you some insight. Edit; I found some details in the follow up post

2023-04-29 15:15:37 +0000 UTCThe statement “Huh. Weird…” perfectly sums up this video, and I love it! Keep up the amazing work! I live vicariously through these videos since I don’t have enough space to keep all this equipment 😄

2023-04-28 12:47:46 +0000 UTCThank you, Sean, for using your priceless one-of-a-kind TAM to run Mac OS X install experiments that I've always been afraid to attempt on my plain old run-of-the-mill TAM. That's why we love the channel 😃

2023-04-28 04:03:54 +0000 UTCThat MacRumors thread honestly seems a little off to me. Idrk much about Old World PPC but I do know that my New World PPC machines will load the installer with the same resolution as openfirmware. So if OpenFirmware is set to 640x480 I’ll get the installer in 640x480 and so on and so forth. But hey again I don’t know much about old world PPC.
