One of the things PReP/CHRP systems such as the RS/6000 and PowerStack had in common was, unlike most Macs that were filled with ASICs, they used mostly standard chips, specifically the Motorola MPC10x memory controller/PCI bus generator (aka "Grackle"). This chip family was also used in the beige G3, Wallstreet, B&W G3/Yikes! G4, Lombard, and the first few iMacs. The Heathrow multi-function ASIC (ATA, floppy, SCSI, ethernet, etc) was also used in many of these computers (the Wallstreet actually uses two to enable the dual drive bay function), along with its successor Paddington, and they probably didn't have functional drivers for them before now. A fun project, but don't hold out hope you'll see NT running on anything newer (iBooks, Pismo or later, any non-PCI G4, FW iMacs or later) or older systems without a lot of writing drivers for the ASICs (same with onboard sound, though maybe an NT-compatible PCI sound card will work?). I may have to try this on a beige G3. Odd that the github page says it doesn't work out of the box, since the Gossamer board in the beige G3s was the closest to CHRP-compliant hardware that Apple ever built.

@@phipli That's true, but they still have OpenFirmware so there should be a way to get it to load. Maybe the OF version is too old for the commands they're running in the current version of the ARC boot loader, or the method to invoke it on OldWorld Macs is non-standard; may need to take inspiration from XPostFacto here. It's possible a later version of the ROM would work OOTB but early revisions may not. I'll play around with it. A beige G3 is really better suited for NT especially since USB is unlikely to ever work properly under NT4 SP2 (it was never officially built into NT4 at any point (see MS KB 196661) which is probably why the USB implementation they tried to use here didn't work). If the floppy drive could be made to work that'd be even better. I'd rather bootstrap from a floppy than a CD, especially since the Mac won't ignore a floppy like it may a CD.

Currently watching and just paused the video right the moment you succeeded formatting the HDD. Funfact about the Win NT 4.0 Setup: While technically being able to use an 8GB partition to install to (the last sector of that partition has to be within the first 1024 cylinders of the disks geometry), you can only do so by formatting the partition outside of the setup routine with an already running Windows NT system. Because the Windows NT Setup will actually format the partition as FAT16 and therefore is limited to 4GB (because WinNT can actually use a cluster size twice as big as DOS or Win9x). After the first reboot and booting from the hard disk to finish the setup - if you chose to format as NTFS - it will then convert the disk to NTFS. However, partitions originally formatted as NTFS will perform better, than partitions that got converted from FAT to NTFS.
@StringerNews1Ай бұрын
It's been so long, I can't remember if Partition Magic could do NTFS back then. NTFS for Linux was experimental. But I used something to make NTFS partitions separate from the NT installer. I also got in the habit of making a small FAT boot partition for NT, not unlike the current-day EFI partition, or what NetWare did. I'd SYS C: in DOS before the NT install to be able to boot into DOS as a "maintenance mode" Not long before that, I was installing Linux onto 700+ MB drives on machines BIOS-limited to 512 MB, using Loadlin from DOS to boot the kernel and load a ramdisk. Then the 32-bit kernel would access the drive directly. Good times.

And not only that... If we see the similarities and differences, we can tell EFI is just the continuation Microsoft and IBM had done in the RISC space with the ARC specification.

Even on x86 systems, you generally want to install NT to a partition no larger than 4 GB, because even when specifying NTFS, it starts out as FAT16 and then converts to NTFS. Workarounds exist to go even higher, but it would likely introduce even more potential problems. Once installed, the remainder of the drive can generally be used as an extended partition, though it may require certain service packs to do so (i.e. SP4 or higher on IDE drives while SCSI drives might get by on SP1.)
@hyoenmadanАй бұрын
What I do, is make a small partition, just like in own modern UEFI machines, in the first 4GBs and just for the loader part. And the rest of the system is installed in a bigger NTFS formatted partition. These days you can get bootdisks can format to the older NT4 NTFS.

However, non-x86 NTVDMs had to do full system emulation, so throwing in 386 protected mode support was a cakewalk after writing reams of code to emulate everything from x86 real mode to VGA. An interesting experiment (if you hacked at the NTVDM to replace its DOS 5.0-like kernel) would be to try to install Windows 95 inside it.

My understanding is that the issue with burned CDs on earlier drives is a result of CD-R and CD-RW media having a smaller difference between the reflectivity of the pits and lands. Basically the "burned" parts of a CD-R that were supposed to imitate pits were more reflective than actual pits on a stamped disc, so depending on how an older CD-ROM drive is calibrated it might not be able to read it (And of course different layer dyes affected this as well). Sometimes the drive/device had a potentiometer on it's logic board which controlled the edge voltage coming from the photodiode used to decode the pits and lands, this could sometimes be adjusted to allow the device to read other media. The speed you burn a disc also has zero effect on this. The common advice to use lower speeds is from the advice surrounding making sure the burn is successful, as early on systems might have trouble keeping the write buffer full- if it emptied out then the burn would fail, and of course slower speeds meant that the system had to do less work to keep it full and thus more likely to have a successful burn.

Funnily, I've been having a lot of IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL lately while trying to play Horizon Zero Dawn on my RX 7600 XT. As far as I am aware it has something to do with memory (VRAM in my case, game can't handle my GPU - works fine on my laptop with a 4060). Might be a GPU driver issue. Might also be an issue with the RAM.

Partitions over 2 GB will only cause an error the first time. *After restarting the first time, you can leave the partition unchanged, and it will install properly!*

Windows NT4 SP2 was the final one to include the PowerPCs

*Man puts himself through Windows hell on a G3 Mac so that we don't have to.* Kudos to you for trying it. Is there any way in which you can make NT4 report itself as Service Pack 3 to try to fool the application? Sometimes it's all that's needed.

The reason why the system wouldn't shut down when holding the power button was because the current state of the computer at that time, it wasn't able to even detect the button. I had a similar issue with my old laptop when reinstalling Windows on it, I forgot to delete the EFI partition and when it booted up, it said choose an operating system with no option. It wouldn't shutdown when holding the power button, and I had to let the battery drain out. It's a very rare issue but really annoying. Whenever working on a laptop. PLEASE UNPLUG THE BATTERY!!! Hope this helps!

The only thing amazed me is that someone made something after 25 years of death of both of these systems. They shoud use time travel to bring it when it was really needed, not for kinda 5-10 people, the last holders of such working hardware in existence. 😅

I've had a lot of success using CD-Rs specifically labelled as "for Music" in really old CD drives. I've got a 72x Kenwood that's really picky, but it's just fine with them. I don't think that "for music" has anything to do with music, per se. It's all digital data after all. I think they discs are formulated to be compatible with the widest possible range of CD players, including the oldest ones, which also makes them more likely to work in older CD ROM drives. I do also burn them at the slowest possible speed as well.

This is exactly how I remember NT 4.0
@bagasanggaАй бұрын
NT 4.0 is the last version to suppprt DEC Alpha & MIPS processor. I honestly thought that those processor was unique.
@lemagreengreenАй бұрын
Yeah, the MIPS support always perplexed me a little. Aside of SGI i think I know of one other maker of MIPS workstations at the time, I guess Microsoft thought they maybe had a chance of making moves into SGI's territory though? not sure.
@MaddTheSaneАй бұрын
@@lemagreengreen I think the RISC ports were made because the industry as a whole was afraid that Intel would hit a road-block with their CISC-based x86 processors and wanted an exit strategy. Turns out, the Intel-pocalypse was still 30 years away…

26:00 Michael, on Windows NT 4.0, you configure sound driver (including hardware configuration) settings under "Multimedia". The G3 B/W should have a Crystal Audio compatible chipset, I know drivers exist for the x86 version of NT4, unsure if Microsoft bundles any here - either way, a PCI SB16/AWE32 compatible should have drivers pre-built, again, considering the x86 version of NT4. Worth a try if you have one handy, although, I've zero clue as to what the interrupt configuration for that would be like.

When I was a kid every single computer magazine failed me by never saying what “Windows NT” stood for…so judging by the box art I assumed it was “Windows Night Time” since it had stars on the box.
