Is the rumour true? Yaboot for all powerMac?
I heard a rumour,
>Well, benh, the yaboot author, said he plans to make yaboot work on all
>Power Macs, so he will do it. He has a 8100AV, and, so, I or somebody
>needs to fix the Apple AV card support before that is possible. Or else,
>we need to get him a NuBus/PDS video card which works with current kernels
>or an Apple HDI-45 video adapter cable.
Since I booted my powerMac7100 into Debian2.2potato using Greg's
installation yesterday,
I now have a handful of esoteric NuBus era video hardware left over;
including what I assume to be an HDI-45 to Apple 15pin female Video cable.
It worked when I plugged it between the 7100 and an Apple 16" monitor
*(under MacOS).
I'm currently using the "standard" High Performance Video card in the PDS
slot, and
Debian runs fine.
So if the offer of yaboot for ancient PowerMacs is true...
