@de PowerPC seems to be pretty efficient to emulate on ARM :D

A shame that this architecture is slowly fading away.

it's very sad that IBM let's this happen-getting abadonded, couple years ago they still had a chance to go against even big players, but they let it only for big ones and never did anything for small scale, also a new 4 core(back in 2017 or so?) power architecture cpu was a fortune, and power 10 just lost all attention as they locked everything in:( power9 had a chance to be adapted into multiple places, i remember https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/en/ that they went out around that time( tho i wasnt following back then) i haven't known they're making a laptop for real now, but sadly it doesnt seem like it got any media attention at all. it would be realy interesting to have 4 competing architectures on the market

I guess i.MX is enough for everybody...

@de yeah but also that family feels pretty outdated now, why is i.MX9 using only A55? there's only one i.MX with Cortex-A72 (also old now) and that's a pretty exotic and power-hungry one

I guess to compete with the Nvidias, Broadcoms and Rockchips you need numbers that you won't get with the industrial market

Very sexy. This „showing off UNIX“ thing brought me to this Open Source thing I think.

Back then, even their ads were quite technical since they were trying to look attractive (which they pretty much were IMHO) to Unix users… good times…

Back then, it was still quite new that Mac OS was suddenly a Unix. And that you had to install it, because it didn't mainly reside in the ROM.

Just configure an HTTP proxy on the same network: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/17680/how-can-i-visit-https-websites-in-old-web-browsers

How can I visit HTTPS websites in old web browsers?

I'm having trouble accessing HTTPS websites using Netscape Communicator 4.8. This is the error message I get: Is there a way I can configure some sort of proxy that will allow me to access HTTPS
