Xenon Development Kit

Perhaps they went from blue to white with the more recent units. But true with the displays and regional settings, just an observation I noticed.

 

Syclopse, you should boot your kit up to compare.

Now i'm wishing they kept Xenon Launcher in Xshell throughout XeDK, that's a lot cooler.

 

Also just came across our first PCI-X 2 model Alpha Kit. Since those were manufactured June 2004 it seems that they were definitely purchased by Microsoft in more than one batch. All the ones that we have seen open so far were PCI-X not PCI-X 2.

 

any change I can get the HDD image to test it
I have all model PowerMac G5 and iMac G5

We’ve done the testing, if you’d like a copy of the image feel free to make a donation so we can stay on track for our Xmas release.

 

Is it $650 or $865?

Would be nice to see some more videos/pics of a frankenxenon in action, and what all can be played/run on it.

 

$650 USD which is $865ish CAD.

I don't have a capture card atm so I can't really get any video. Borman might be able to help in that regard.

 

There's not a whole lot to show honestly. I plan on uploading some Halo if I can find my proper audio cable though

 

Only three of those are G5's. The rest are Xeon based Mac Pros.

 

powermac g5 should be 6 or 7 i have it
iMac G5 around 20pcs

 

The iMac G5 is a single processor 970 or 970fx system and therefore won't work.

We've already tested both compatible PowerMac G5 models. The later ones won't work due to lack of GPU support and the lack of a U2 SMC.

If you want to do your own testing then consider donating.

 

that mean only work have ADC support G5

 

The 970 and 970fx systems (PCI-X and PCI-X 2), correct. 970MP is a completely different ballpark and won't be compatible without some serious work.

 

it may cool use this one run it

 

Why would you ruin a prototype G5 by using it as a Xenon Alpha kit?

 

coz it have serial port for logic board log....

 

The modem port doubles as a serial port for every G5 model, not only that but we believe kernel debugging happened over something else (perhaps not even on physical hardware) such as Firewire since it's present in the Giano framework.
