As I said, you would need kernel extensions to support the unique hardware on the 360's motherboard.

Its true the Open Firmware device tree does have a ROM node. Its children are boot-rom and MacOS. The boot-rom node is the representation of the flash chip where the Open Firmware is stored as well as hardware specific drivers and code such as POST.…

No ROM chip is needed to run OS X! I hear people repeat this all the time and it just not true. New world Mac's have Open Firmware, and that's all. Things like firewire target mode, etc. are just extensions to Open Firmware. The only thing preventin…

How old is the Dell? Maybe it would be more economical to simply help them fix it? Start with a clean install of XP & SP2, use Firebird, a good firewall/antivirus like Zone Labs ZoneAlarm, and a NAT router. It would take maybe 3 hours from start…

If I remember correctly, the Mac Plus did not have an internal hard drive. A hard drive was was an option that hooked up externaly through the floppy port on the back. You will need to make some boot floppies of System 6 from Apple.

There was no CHRP version of NT. To boot NT on a RISC machine it needs to load the ARC boot loader. Firmworks created a CHRP to ARC layer for Motorola?s never released StarMax 6000 which was demoed at the 1996 PC Expo. The other critical piece…
