Old stuff survey
ClassicHasClass:
Welcome, jirka! Nice to see you here.
bw42:
I have a few old PowerMacs:
iBook G3
G4 Cube
iMac G4
2 iBook G4s
PowerMac G5
Plus a couple non-Apple PowerPC systems.
IBM Intellistation 185
several Aerohive access points running embedded PowerPC SoC
and of course my newest toy, Blackbird with 8-core Power9.
ClassicHasClass:
Well, if we're counting router SoCs, Floodgap's border router is PowerPC-based too (it's essentially a 603 core but no MMU). Which Aerohive and what SoC?
I like the Intellistations. If I had any more room under the desk and it wasn't a pandemic, I might look around for one.
bw42:
I got a couple Aerohive BR-100 and 4 AP-230.
I'm not sure the specific SoC they run.
I just remember when I first set them up at a previous employer they were running PowerPC and a custom Linux distro.
When they replaced the system I asked the IT manager there if I could take a few to play with instead of them getting trashed.

Hello everyone, just registered here. While waiting for my 8C/32T Blackbird to arive, I tinker with any of these: PowerMacintosh 7100, PowerMacintosh 7300, PowerMacintosh 7600, PowerMacintosh 9600, iMac G3 (original), iMac G3 (slot-load), PowerMac G4, PowerMac G5, Xserve G5, PowerBook G3 (Pismo), iBook G4 12", PowerBook G4 12", PowerBook G4 15", 3x MacMini G4, IntelliStation POWER 185, RouterBoard RB600 (with the last OpenBSD supporting this board, used as a computer through old VT serial terminal) and some desk-side POWER4 based IBM server with faulty power circuits waiting to be repaired one day. I also still have Kanga, but it has faulty trackpad and malfunctioning L2 cache, so it's going to be swaped for some other RISC machine with other czech Mac collector.
Glad to be here.
