Virtualization - Mac OS X 10.5.1 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 10.5.1 Desktop PowerPC

Screenshots


Instructions

Update from 10.5.0 using https://support.apple.com/kb/dl154?locale=en_US

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 mytap3451.
  • 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.
  • Check how to solve the problem with "unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35"
  • Check how to solve the problem with Time Machine
  • Check how to solve the problem to access the Time Machine shared folder on Mac OS X 10.13

ATA Drive Capacity Limitations

ATA interface versions up through ATA-5 suffered from a drive capacity limitation of about 137GB (billion bytes). Depending on the BIOS used, you can further reduce this limitation to 8.4GB, or even as low as 528MB (million bytes). This is due to limitations in both the BIOS and the ATA interface, which when combined create even further limitations. To understand these limits, you have to look at the BIOS (software) and ATA (hardware) interfaces together. NOTE In addition to the BIOS/ATA limitations discussed in this section, various operating system limitations exist. These are described later in this chapter. The limitations when dealing with ATA drives are those of the ATA interface as well as the BIOS interface used to talk to the drive. A summary of the limitations is shown in Table 7.12. Table 7.12. ATA/IDE Capacity Limitations for Various Sector Addressing Methods Sector Addressing Method Total Sectors Calculation Maximum Total Sectors Maximum Capacity (Byte...
