That's the one! I tested my 8500/132 with 32mb of RAM. It worked fine. Interesting fact about the 603e. Do you know this from experience?

Cool, so you managed to get Copland running now?
I picked up that bit about the 604 from somewhere online. It wasn't through any personal experience as I only have a couple of pre-G3 PowerPC machines.
My 7500 came with a G3 accelerator so when I was looking for a 604 in order to run Copland I made a point of getting a plain 604 rather than a e or ev. |

Yes, It works, but it's very buggy. I always need a debugger attached.
Do you know of any other combos that would work? Do you have any other classic macs to test?

| No, the 7500 is the only Copland-compatible model I have. I think it really is just this buggy. Probably why they scrapped it. I think some of the earlier builds may have been a bit better but who knows if we'll ever see them. |

Well, I have two other earlier builds, but I need a first-gen power mac to use them. The problem is I'm sinking my "fun" money into my home theater system right now, so I have no money to buy one at the moment. Maybe in the near future...

| What's the other earlier build you have? D11E4 and D7E1 are the only ones I've ever managed to find. |

I have one that is labeled as "B5" but I've never tested it before. Not even sure if it's actually Copland or just a mislabled Tempo.

Ah that. Yeah it's a mislabel. Apple didn't use any build names like that for Copland. I know there was a 8.0b5 but it was post-Tempo where it was just plain old Mac OS.
There's a site with some info on a Copland D9 build. That's the only other major version I've ever heard mentioned. |

Ah thanks for that clarification. As for the info web site, is this what you are refering to?
