I've been gifted a macmini 1,1, which I've upgrade to "2,1" (i.e. slapped a C2D T7400 in it + 4 GiB of RAM and an SSD), which has made it somewhat reasonable speed wise.
I want to use the machine for some toy software projects which require access to frameworks that aren't available in SL, which is what it's running now, so I'm looking for ways to upgrade to later version of macOS and believe I've seen that people have been able to get a macmini 2,1 (real one, I suspect) to boot mavericks.
All of the guides I've been able to find require that I already have a machine available that runs mavericks so that's not going to help a whole lot, since this is the only mac I have (except an old G5 iMac, with a broken installation of Debian).
Are there any way to get my macmini updated?
