I've been monitoring the behaviour of the batteries on the Pismo. The battery is now recognised as a power source and the battery monitor can calculate the time and percentage of charge left some data is not getting through to the higher OS software…

Hi Tobias, After re-compiling your PMUBatteryHelper.kext for 10.5 (on 10.5.8 using xcode 3.1.4), and performing a reset of the PMU via the reset button, the left hand battery on the Pismo is now recognised. Thanks very much for this fix - much…

Hi Tobias, I've found that on the Pismo if the battery is placed in the right hand bay it is recognised and the time-facility works automatically (unlike in Tiger, where it had to be re-added by using an older version of the battery driver). I…

Looking at the current state of the Snow Leopard build things are not good for PPC. Much like G3 support was stripped out of both the Applications and Kernel Extensions support in 10.5 there is mounting evidenence that kernel extensions alone wou…

Hi, I've not seen any data corruption with on the Beige - although I have been using a PCI SATA card. One thing to try would be the HeathrowATA driver from Tiger (if it works) to see if that changes anything. Let us know how it goes. Jam…

Hi Tobias, Good progress! Can you boot to the GUI etc with the Tiger kexts? If so, that's very good progress as I couldn't get the internal video to work at all on the Biege, etc. Yep sure no probs - if you PM your e-mail address I can e-mai…

Thanks Jwilliek, Thanks very much - I was amazed to win! James.

Hi, The platform expert for the Pismo is AppleMacRISC2PE.kext, and the version supplied with Retail Leopard seems to work fine on my G4-upgraded Pismo. I've used Leopard Assist to successfully install Leopard onto my G4-upgraded one. (http://m…

Hi, I've now got Leopard running on a G4-upgraded PowerMac 8500 and 9600. See link for more information: http://www.macmod.com/content/view/1571 James.

Hi All, Just a quick note to say that I've successfully run Leopard retail on a G4-upgraded PowerMac 8500 and also a PowerMac 9600. I'll post details in a couple of days. James.

Excellent news jwilliek, glad you've got it running. For the ethernet, firewire and usb issues I found the solution was to use the WWDC 2006 versions of: IOFirewireFamily.kext. IOUSBFamily.kext AppleIONetworkingFamily.kext Alternatively, …

Hi Tim, Excellent news - glad you got it working your Beige! You'll probably find that performance increases once Spotlight has finished indexing everything on the HD. I've not yet figured out what the problem with the Combo updates is - wh…

Hi James, Finally got it working! (seems as if Leo suits the old Beige pretty well too from first impressions of its performance!) I eventually installed using the Hackintosh as I did get a semi-working install with Pacifist but it was very slow …

Hi, No probs - will send them to you - can you PM me your e-mail address. Not sure about the IONDRVSupport versions - just figuring that out trying to install 10.5 on a PM 8500. However, I suspect azure is right. James. Quote: Originall…

Hi, Thanks very much for the information - I'll contact them to see if they could source it. Thanks.

Hi, I'm now thinking of trying to get leopard running on a power mac 8500. However, I'm having trouble finding an xlr8 carrierzif (http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3CARDS/XLR8_CarrierZIF/) which would enable me to add a g4 zif I have to the machine…
