| Power Computing PPC and BeOS 5 |
Posted by: abbub on 2010-06-17 08:48:22
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, but I finally got around to installing BeOS 5 Pro on my Power Computing 604/150 last night, so it's sitting happily on one HDD with 8.6 sitting happily on the next.
Question: Does BeOS R5 on the PPC not support OHCI devices? I have no USB mouse and keyboard. 🙁

Hrm. Looks like perhaps the Haiku USB stack can be used with R5?!

I did see something about getting PowerPC support for Haiku sometime in the future. Here's hoping they do. I have a StarMax 4000 that is itching to run it. }🙂

I'd sure like to try Haiku on my real live BeBox, though I'm doubtful it will be compatible with it, PPC support notwithstanding.

I've never seen anything about USB on PowerPC BeOS.
I was able to install USB on my x86 BeOS Release 5. I had to install extra stuff I found on BeBits; I think they said it was originally for BONE or Dano or some such other dodgy thing, but it did work on my PeeCee.
The only reason why I wanted USB really was to read flash drives. I bought a network storage doo-hickey thing that purports to allow me to hook it up to my computer via ethernet, that would then allow me to access USB drives, but the doo-hickey is still in it's plastic wrap.
