I'm guessing compatibility is where the Forth language is concerned. Forth is terse, can be interpreted, has a tiny footprint and is known to be near machine code speed for some operations.
But it's true you or your motherboard could get burned making assumptions about anything that isn't specifically tested for MacOS (and the version you want to deploy) AND the G4 hardware. It's a minefield so much research is necessary. Computerdom has already deemed my 'ancient' PCI G5 as worthless and will be furnishing no more updates. Google didn't even bother porting a G5 browser, Digidesign gave up a year ago. Eye-TV just quit updates for G5. The replacement hardware for this old stuff becomes 'rare' and thus more expensive. 2010/8/17 François Chaplais <francois.chapl...@mines-paristech.fr> > isn't there a difference between PPC and Intel video cards?
