This shouldn’t be possible…

Mjd & Action Retro the same video😂

"alright, i've got my big bin of random IDE hard drives. I'm sure everyone has one of these"..... me furtively looking under the desk in the corner of my room: yup, true.

Windows on Mac - it's a Wacintosh

For dualboot, the HFS partitions created aren't formatted at all, you have to boot from an OSX CD (10.1 and above) and use Disk Utility to format the partitions. There's also a "reboot into OS9" option in firmware setup because OS9 refuses to use a hard drive with an MBR on it. (some OSX installers are the same, specifically 10.2 and 10.3 won't even format the HFS partitions if the drive also has an MBR on it) Regarding booting into NT, you should be able to boot from the OF shell by "boot ide0/@1:,\\:tbxi" or something like that, without needing the CD.

I’ve been PRePping for this moment for 30 years!!!

MacOS on Mac hardware, Macintosh. MacOS on x86 hardware, Hackintosh. Windows OS on Mac hardware, Backintosh.

That is dead-on unique & relaxin' i forgot Windows & Apple developed a computer possibly like that :D

Just need DOOM next, maybe NCommander can give some tips here 😂

A "reverse hackintosh"? There never be a nerdier thing to have

Windows NT 4.0 Is The First Version Of Windows Supported On Mac Computers, And Only Windows OS Supported On PowerPC Macs! (UnOfficial)

It kinda works because these computers were built in a brief period where Macs were semi-compatible with the CHRP specification which NT for PPC was meant to support. It wasn't possible to run NT on Macs before now mostly because there were no drivers for the ASICs Apple used (specifically the super I/O chip), but it looks like someone put in the effort to get it to (mostly) work. Apple's ASICs are always black boxes so writing drivers for them isn't easy. Odd that USB doesn't work though. On the B&W G3 it's provided by an OPTi FireLink chip (not the same as the FW chip which is from TI), which was extremely common on PCs in the era. Maybe it'll show up under Device Manager and you can install the drivers from there.

I just did Windows 2000 on my Modern Pentium PC, and you Installed NT 4.0 on a PowerPC Mac.

It always keeps coming back to Wack0 :o

MJD Dejavu?

but does it run Crowdstrike...?

This video was completely unholy. I like it. But yeah, Windows NT has no business being on such an un-beige machine.

Ahhhhh, double nostalgia for me! I had a B&W a while running OS X Tiger, and back in 2000 is when I got my MSCE and MCT (I was teaching the Microsoft tech classes), so I ran NT 4 A LOT! Thanks for this, it's great to see!

This is the stuff I love about (retro/vintage) computing!

Amazing! Now I wish I had kept one of the Power Mac G3s that I have given away over the past year or two.
