Hi Guys
I now have in my possession a PPC based Mac Mini. This will allow me to add
PPC as a supported arch in the DIY Reference Build.
I'd like to publically extend a *MASSIVE* thankyou to Jon Grosshart who went
to extraordinary lengths to get the machine to me. Not only did he supply
the actual unit, he threw in extra goodies (Mac-centric peripherals, Linux
CD's etc) and then paid exorbitant shipping costs to send the box from US to
Australia. All I had to do was acquire a US -> Australia power plug adaptor
then switch it on :-)
Needless to say, I will soon be adding a new Acknowledgments/Credits section
to the Ref' Build docco.
An added bonus is that I now have a reason to forge ahead with the Cross
build stuff that I started a while back but lost momentum on due to lack of
testing hardware.
Work is keeping me quite busy at the moment.. so unfortunately it's gonna
take me a little while to get fully up-to-speed with all things Mac and
actually get DIY PPC builds tested and integrated into the Ref' Build docs.
Stay tuned..
Regards
Greg
