Las week I brougth an old G4 the poped up in the marked. A rare thing to occour here, since they where super expensive when new.
I paid something like 20 bucks for it.
It came with a busted ide hard drive, but no worries. I went online and brought an ide to sd card adapter, and will now install Tiger in it.
I don't spect to take any serious workload, but It will problably be fine to run Starcraft and Diablo II in it. Will see.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoYou'd be better off with a CF to IDE adapter. SD really isn't well suited to be a main OS volume. Or just get a SATA to IDE adapter.
- Causality1 6y agoAside from being pin-compatible is there a reason CF is more suitable for an OS volume than SD?
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoYou're unlikely to get support for modern high speed SD cards in these sort of adapters. CF has a better shot of supporting UDMA and even if not PIO mode 4 will get you 16MB/s which will likely outperform a typical SD slot in these devices.
- rootsudo 6y agoThat's great to know, probably why my SSD to ipod hdd didn't work out as great, and CF is the way to go.
- KozmoNau7 6y agoCF cards do wear leveling, which makes them much better suited as hard drive replacements than SD cards or USB sticks. It's the solution for people who want to play around with old computers without having to rely on old and probably flaky hard drives.
- Causality1 6y agoI have to point out that while wear leveling isn't in the SD spec, many manufacturers like SanDisk do include wear leveling in their controllers.
- major505 6y agogood to know. But is really a temporary solution until I think in a way to use it.In the end I wanna find a way to adapt and 128gb ssd in it.
- major505 6y agoit will make druaga1 proud.
