Obviously I'd hope for the MDD series, but I also have a Quicksilver at my disposal with a Dual 1.8GHz upgrade of it's own.
#Mac os 8.6 rom driver#
I'd like to know your thoughts on how far 8.6 might be taken, particularly in the video card driver department (especially where it concerns ATI cards). I would happily back down to 8.6 if I could use later CPU hardware though. Given that I'm likely the only member here who knows about the Sonic Solutions systems in-depth, and have experimented thoroughly to resolve the issue, I doubt this problem will ever be fixed within the OS 9.x environment. A faster CPU helps a little but never allows it to completely function. It sorta works, slowly, but not completely. I can't pin-point the exact source of the slowdown. As soon as you hit OS 9.x there are serious fundamental issues created once its extension loads, which drags down the speed of the whole computer. Medianet is a hybrid of a specialized SCSI accelerator host card with FDDI networking supporting AppleTalk. While the core hardware of this DAW system can operate alone without issue, performance and flexibility is greatly enhanced by adding Medianet. My situation stems from unresolved problems with Sonic Solutions systems where they chose to abandon development of their driver for Medianet. (Or anything else far better than a Graphite G4/AGP.) Now that I have a FW800 MDD with Dual 1.8GHz Sonnet upgrade booting the unsupported 9.2.2, I'd really like to know if it would be possible to have it also boot 8.6. There is much to be gained where it concerns CPU-intensive tasks, improved video speed/resolution/dual monitor support, PCI bus integrity/speed, and the general smooth UI feel of getting beyond a Graphite G4/AGP. This is something I'm very interested in because I've pretty much exhausted all avenues for moving past 8.6 with one particular piece of hardware that is a preferred part of one type of DAW I use. There was a comment from a user suggesting that the technical understandings gained from this development work might later allow OS 9.x-minimum machines to boot the earlier OS 8.6 too.

This free update for Mac users running 8.5 and 8.5.1 was faster and much more stable than either versions of 8.5.x, and is by some considered the most stable Classic OS. Released May 10, 1999, Mac OS 8.6 introduced the concept of a nanokernel to the Mac OS which allowed for multi-tasking and multi-processors. Mac OS 8.5.1, released December 7, 1998, was a minor update to Mac OS 8.5 that fixed a number of bugs that were causing crashes and data corruption. It was the first version to include the Sherlock search tool. Released October 17, 1998, Mac OS 8.5 was the first version of the Mac OS to run solely on Macintosh computers equipped with a PowerPC processor, as such it removed some but not all of the Motorola 68000 code, improving system performance. It is the earliest version that can run Carbon apps.

It introduced support for the HFS Plus file system format, which supported large file sizes, longer file names and made more efficient use of the space on larger drives due to using a smaller block size. Released January 19, 1998, Mac OS 8.1 was the last version to run on Macintosh computers with a Motorola 68000-family processor. Help was available in the form of an Info Centre (by means of web pages stored on the user's hard drive, with links to the Internet - this was new with Mac OS 8), as well as Balloon Help and Apple Guide. Improvements in Mac OS 8.0 include a multi-threaded Finder, the three-dimensional Platinum appearance theme and a number of performance related improvements to virtual memory, AppleScript execution times and system start-up times.
