apples support seems hosed...
Load of URL http://support.apple.com/index.html failed with error code
-310.
but from this page....
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202888
there is a good guide.
------------------------------
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_

that is interesting to know the old os can be run
under the newer.
I am confused on some of the G5 stuff.
there is a real early one that has non intel processor
then there is a 1.1 ( i have one too) but you can not upgrade to the
latest os (bummer)
then there is the G% 3 or 3.3 dated one that will run currect os
too.
is there a way to force the 1.1 one to run currest os somehow!?
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.
