Hi.

I'm currently operating a PowerMac7,3 and it's working well.
However, I have 2 PM11,2 sitting here as well and as I recall there was some work being done for supporting 11,2?
What's the state there?


Cheers,
Manfred

They are pretty much supported.

You need:

- a Radeon GFX card, either a genuine Apple one (rare) or a PC card with AtomBIOS (X1?00, HD???? see list on morphos-team.net
With a PC card you want to keep the Apple NVIDIA card in the system.

- A NIC, RTL8168 is the common solution

You get (compare to an older G5 at the same clock):

- little more performance
- a little less power consumption


You can go all in and install 1 CPU from a Quad into a 2.0 or 2.3 model which will not only give you 2.5GHz but also the 1.25GHz system clock of the Quad without the insane noise and heat of a real one.

OK, cool.

I'll check out what's in those G5s (don't know exactly, one runs Linux the other MacOSX 10.5).

Is it just supported with MorphOS 3.19 and can/could I just swap the HDD (SDD) (theoretically if the gfx card works, they're both just 2Ghz versions.)?

If there is any supported Radeon present it should just boot.

Since you last asked 6 years ago right after the MorphOS 3.12 release, a least the following was improved:

"Devs/Audiomodes/I2s
- Disable internal amplifier if device is connected to HP/line out of PMac11,2/PMac12,1/iMacG5
- Control headphone mute based on plug status on PMac11,2 as well"

"Quark
- Fixed detection of some MacOF Bios R500/X19xx PCIe cards on PMac11,2 G5 machines"

What do you mean?
