Action Retro

it's the world's first dingus haiku tea time.

@Greg_the_Lawyer Unfortunately not this year 😭

@ActionRetro1 VCFMW?

I so wish I was there this year 😭

@ChrisPirillo this counts

@ActionRetro1 This is as close as I come. arcade.pirillo.com/antique-typewr…

Here's consignment at VCF Southeast. Small but mighty!

@aldozampatti One or two type strokes per second

@ActionRetro1 How fast does it boot? 😉

I even ported Haiku to this cool typewriter

@PauloCapano working on a video

@ActionRetro1 Could you send a guide on how I can install them on my old Mac?

it's the world's first dingus haiku tea time.

@TomrowB I really want to get it going on a Wii lol

@ActionRetro1 It would be amazing to get this running on a Gamecube/successor with OpenGL to GX/GX2 translation, but I'm nowhere near capable to pull it off

Next weekend Josh and I will be giving a demo of Xerox systems at VCF West - every generation of computer hardware they sold form the Alto, to the Dorado, the Dolphin, Dandelion, and Daybreak. A rare chance to see the whole lineage in one place - working!

@leap123__ haven't tested yet but that's a goal

@ActionRetro1 can it run stock powerpc beos apps as well? i remembered that haiku x86 can run stock x86 beos apps

@PromptInjection Just netsurf so far

@ActionRetro1 Have you tried to compile any modern browser?

some apps

@WhatAintInside Boots with working networking on my G4 Digital Audio :) I'm going to put a disk image in that thread once it's a little more stable

@ActionRetro1 Oh man I totally missed that YOU made this. OMG, that's definitely a side of you that needs further exposure - really cool. So. NewWorld G4 - when?

Pismo

@goneguy25 Love the 1400c, best keyboard they ever made

@ActionRetro1 My all-time favorite Powerbook. It had USB built in, could be upgraded VERY easily, and ran everything from Mac OS 9- Mac OS 10.4 (and 10.5 with a special patcher). This was the second Powerbook I ever owned (the 1400c was the first).

And it runs shockingly well. Smooth and responsive

This is the first and only PowerBook in the world to ever run Haiku

@warpdesign_ @atomozero I really want to find one of those!

@atomozero @ActionRetro1 I wonder how difficult it would be to make it work on Pegasos (2) machines as well. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesi_Pe…

In twenty years nobody had booted Haiku to a desktop on PowerPC. The kernel always died at "Cannot find any boot partitions". @ActionRetro1 did it in five days. Real Power Mac, interactive desktop, NetSurf on the open web. desktoponfire.com/haikuos/hardwa… #HaikuOS #PowerPC
