Hi
I have been using a souped-up 7500 for mirroring an Jaguar Server
Xserve installation so that I could play with the configuration safely
and not having to perform "open heart surgery" on a 24/7 Xserve.
Lately the company I'm doing this for decided to move to Panther
Server (which on Xserve is of course no problem). However, I would
stil like to have a mirrored panther server installation on my 7500.
The newest XPF is alpha. It has many known "issues".
For a production system, the latest dependable XPF remains 2.2.5. This
does not handle Panther. There is no dependable way to run an
unsupported install of Panther at this time. If you read Ryan's notes
for XPF 3 it makes all this clear.
That's true. However, I thought that the biggest part of the problem was the video and since Panther Server can run even headless I thought this would work. I'll just have to wait for XPF3 to reach final build.
You would need to mirror your Panther server on a Mac with New World ROMs. A vintage blue-and-white would do nicely, and not cost much money.
In this part of the world things are a bit different and used machines are quite costly. For example a b/w tower 233 or 266 MHz would cost me around 400-500 USD which is way too much for me to spend on this mirror.
