this is my 1.1 Mac Pro --- MacPro1,1 --- MA356LL/A it works... it is a good representative artifact too . will not load curvet os because? "This is caused by the lack of the 64 bit EFI bios. The hardware of the Mac Pro 1.1 is already complete 64bit capable but they do ship the efi bios only in 32bit version." Ed says..... OK whatever an EFI Bios is.... (( remember this is my first real exposure to USING a MAC - yes we have a 9 inch screen one in the museum but have never even used that)) ------- Ha wish it was a Mac Pro (Early 2008) -- MacPro3,1 --- MA970LL/A then I could current OS upgrade it. --------------------- ok we also have a - "The Power Macintosh G5 shipped from 2003 until 2006. All models pack 64-bit PowerPC 970 (G5) processors in an easy-to-upgrade aluminum tower case design with a single external optical drive bay" This one is missing disc drives... this has the neatest form fitting insides of any of the macs I have seen. ---------------------------- then we have Blue iMAC still in box ------------------------------------ Then we have the old 9 inch one in museum collection. ( I do not see many of these around as I used to) --------------------------------- thanks for any help and tips Ed# _www.smecc.org_ (http://www.smecc.org) In a message dated 7/17/2016 7:23:10 P.M.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. If the 1.1 is clock speed, the slowest G5 is 1.6GHz. No Power Mac can run anything past 10.5.8; there is no PowerPC code left in the kernel to run. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Don't be humble ... you're not that great. -- Golda Meir -------------------
