Good morning brain trust, I was wondering if anyone has tried installing MOS on the Powerbook Ti 667mhz w/ATI Mobility Radeon ? Booting from CD produces the white screen. I've seen that issue before on a PM G5, it was related to the CD-ROM drive, I've had to switch from SATA to IDE (or the other way around, I don't remember now).

But more importantly, is is worth installing on a 667MHz machine or is that too slow now? I use the built-in UAE to run legacy apps and games, play music and dabble with paint apps (no internet browsing, no videos).

I will try booting from USB, but if you can tell me it's not worth it, I'd really appreciate that.

"But more importantly, is is worth installing on a 667MHz machine or is that too slow now? I use the built-in UAE to run legacy apps and games, play music and dabble with paint apps (no internet browsing, no videos)."

If you avoid web browsing or heavy sites (which are a pain on other, much faster Macs anyway), it should be ok. H264 in 360p should also be ok. The slowest Mac I was using MorphOS on was a 400 MHz Powermac G4, and the experience was quite okay. UAE is ok for ECS games, heavier stuff like AGA could be a problem.

But I can't tell you, if your Titanium Powerbook is supported by MorphOS, or if sound is supported.

This should be PowerBook3,3 or PowerBook3,4, whereas the oldest PowerBook model reported to work is PowerBook3,5 (without audio).

Discussion from 6 years ago on Titanium model support:

I'm not aware of any change in this regard.

> I use the built-in UAE

I don't think MorphOS contains any UAE.

I once added some kind of experimental support for PowerBook 3,5 because I got a machine to toy around with it for a while. It never was fully supported, it had some issues with audio, I didn't really continue on it ... So probably a waste of time to try with an even older model there ...

Thank you. I guess I can use it as VNC terminal to my G5 tower. I meant the built-in 68k jit. And I'm sorry for not searching properly, I've used the search function on here but couldn't find anything relevant, I need to improve my google-fu.

Thanks, makes sense.

Well, audio is not essential but some video output would be fine

There is video output, a white screen. Some people don't appreciate abstract art.
