    DIY power adapter ok for Tiger, not for Leopard

    I recently detailed (in another thread) how I’d made a power supply for my Pismo using a stereo plug, an RCA plug, and an old Dell powerbrick. It’s still working fine, however when I installed Leopard on another partition the other day I noticed that there was an “x” in the battery icon and...

Some background on why I’m posting: For many years, I’ve maintained an archival library of music on which I’ve been curating since about...

    Developing for Tiger and Leopard / PowerPC (a devlog)

(I know there is a programming-specific sub-forum here, but that's really oriented towards modern macOS / iOS development, so I figured this sub-forum is a better fit...
