Chapter 6: T minus 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Now the computer was finally ready to be turned on. First I did so without the ADBunio just to see what happens. And it worked right away.

It booted up to the desktop but was awfully slow doing so. Partly because the previous user installed lots of stuff on it and partly because "it" is a mechanical hard drive. That was the point where I flashed the dump of the HDD I made previously onto an SD-Card and replaced the old drive with an sd2ide, letting it hang off the side for now.

MacOS starting up in German.
