There was never a text mode in macos until version 10.
- dcrazy 2y agoYes there was: MacsBug, and later there was OpenFirmware. But you wouldn’t get dropped into MacsBug or OF if the machine crashed or failed to start up.
- cosmotic 2y agoNeither of those are part of the operating system.
- LocalH 2y agoThere has never been a "true" text mode in any Mac hardware (except for situations where there is vestigial support in the hardware from the days of Intel on Mac, and I doubt that support was ever available for application use). Even Macsbug was ultimately drawing pixels to a framebuffer.
