Ok, after plugging in and pulling out ide drives and working with bent IDE pins and that one time that the adapter stuck a jagged piece of metal into my index finger, I finally pulled out some screenshots.

FIRST OFF, THE STEBE DRIVE



It's a Hackintosh! Here's the desktop:



It's running OS X 10.5.6 (aka Leopard)



It's also got the last version of Chrome that runs on this version:



But other than this and the stock software, there's not much else on this installation. Nevertheless, getting this working is a ton of effort. Good job, Santa!

NEXT UP, THE MOOSE MILKIE DRIVE



Imagine that there is a bog standard ubuntu 12.04 bootup and login screen. Logging in, I see:



classic.

Soon after the login happened, vlc launched and attempted to play something. But all it did was play audio and show a single frame. I think it was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntPaGRoHii0 this (NSFW)

Hmm, what does the cat pictures folder have?



when looking through someone's laptop, you gotta check the bookmarks



The only other software on the desktop that was usable was the dosbox link for Windows 3.1



Extreme Tux Racer and Doom 2 ran like crap, but otherwise there's lots of cool detritus laying around.

I saw some read errors on the hard drive, so I've got my work cut out for me. Not 100% sure what I'll do next, but it'll probably involve:

  • Migrating data off of the dying hard drive, then wiping the crap out of that drive before disposing of it
  • Using the hackintosh as the primary OS or making the laptop dual-boot mac OS and something that is not ubuntu (like bunsenlabs linux). Alternatively, get another drive for Linux, but I dunno how much more abuse that laptop drive adapter can take.
