I can’t seem to get it to run. Anyone else running it on socket 7? What iso did you use?
dual 133? Pentium? What mobo? I have a dual tyan I’d love to try haiku or beos out on. But it won’t boot it
The BeBox had dual PowerPC CPUs - either a 603 at 66MHz or a 603e at 133MHz. BeOS wasn't available on x86 until R3 in 1998.
For Haiku the minimum requirement is a Pentium II with 384MB of RAM. I assume its mostly so high because the installer is a live CD (IIRC once the GUI starts you get asked if you want to install Haiku or continue to the desktop). Probably once installed it would run with less.
I wonder if a 400gp would do the trick? 🤔
Only one way to be sure I suppose - put the CD (or flash drive if it can USB boot) in and see if it boots. I imagine it will fail before it gets to the desktop if it has some problem with the CPU. Digging around a bit I get the impression the 32bit version just needs a 586/Pentium possibly with MMX. I guess the RAM requirement pretty much rules out regular Pentiums but the 400GP probably stands a good chance. Would certainly be interesting to hear how it runs!
