  • I love the fact you can hear the hard disk working away there :)

  • @julietcharlieen1 :D yes indeed I'll have to upload a video of my SparcStations running.. they are much louder! sound like jet planes... or x-wing fighers from star wars lol I just have to get some decent software on them first. I also intend to upload a video of Haiku OS with is the successor the the operating system you see in the video here.

  • @cusbrar1 I'd like to see that! We used to have Spark stations at work with 5 SCSI drives each. They were LOUD and generated so much heat!

  • @ftwoeightfilms 5 drives? Hmm the pizzabox SparcStations only fit 2 drives which model? I have SS2 SS5 SS10 U1e and U10 creator 3d. Maybe you had external drives?

  • @cusbrar1 A friend gave me an old dual Pentium-Pro Workstation/Server (dead now) with some 9GiB SCSI drive a few years ago. While running the mkfs for a FreeBSD install, it sounded like a helicopter was landing on my roof.

    The SCSI drive in my PowerMac G3 blue/white (still kicking with Debian) is loud enough to be heard from three rooms away.

  • Please show us how to install it on a spare box!

  • @Nord72 Wait what!? you still have a working BP6 mobo?!! thats awesome, mine blows up some years ago. feels bad.

  • @endikapaino2 watch the language

  • I once had 27 videos running on BeOS - p2 350 256mg of ram . I couldn't do that on my new monster machine running XP. The fastest OS I ever ran, you think that Microsoft or Apple would have used it.

  • @mannaggialapaletta not really unless I were to compare MacOS 9 on a PPC Mac comptuer and BeOS and I don't own one... so no. As far as modern Mac OS X then... well its over 10 years newer so it wouldn't be fair to compare them. I don't have much interesting in comparing things anyway you can download Haiku which is the logical descendant of BeOS though and compare it to whatever you want... haiku-os dot org Haiku can run most x86 BeOS software and even some of the drivers.
