Virtualization - Mac OS X 10.3.0 PowerPC Desktop on Qemu for Windows


Environment

  • Host: Windows 10 Intel x64
  • Virtualization: QEMU emulator version 6.0.93 (v6.1.0-rc3-11879-ge232c1bc00-dirty)
    qemu-system-ppc.exe
  • Guest: Mac OS X 10.3.0 Desktop PowerPC

Instructions

I have to write something here

Notes

  • Release mouse control back to host OS pressing Ctrl+Alr+G keys together.
  • Network only works if creating a network bridge connection. For my set-up, I called the virtual NIC mytap3430.
  • Network MAC address has to be unique. Each one of my Qemu guest NIC have a different MAC address...loads of MAC addresses....
  • Confirm the "Network Bridge" (in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections) is using the correct physical network card (Intel 1.0GB for me). I lost a great deal of time using the wrong NIC.
  • Possible SSH remote access problems solved here.

Movie - The Gray Man (2022)

  My views Plot In 2003, senior  CIA  official Donald Fitzroy visits a prisoner named Courtland Gentry in Florida. Eight years earlier, Courtland was a minor convicted of killing his abusive father to protect his brother. Fitzroy offers him his freedom in exchange for working as an assassin in the CIA's  Sierra  program, an elite black ops unit, which will allow him to exist in the gray. In 2021, Courtland, now known as  Sierra Six , is working with fellow CIA agent Dani Miranda to assassinate a target named Dining Car suspected of selling off  national security  secrets in  Bangkok  during the national  Songkran  festival. Unable to do so stealthily without harming civilians, he attacks Dining Car directly, mortally wounding him. Before dying, he reveals he was also in the Sierra program as Sierra Four.

Clues at the scene lead Somerset and Mills to the  sloth  victim, a drug-dealing  pederast  whom they find emaciated and restrained to a bed. Photographs reveal the victim was restrained for precisely one year. Somers...
