No it doesn’t have OF and actually OF is not required to boot Solaris. On a x86 PC Solaris works without it and so it does on PPC. FYI this particular specimen has been acquired by OS/2 Museum and is featured in following article: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/?p=2033

As far as I googled it doesn’t have it built in, but since it can boot Solaris, it must have it somewhere on an external media (floppy?). Have you played with AIX or Solaris on it?

I used it to compile aclock and ttg for WinPPC but not on my own system.

I have got a replacement cdrom and it works, but won’t read my freshly burned CDs. Some old ones, no problem. But not the new ones. I guess I will need to do some shopping for older type writeable cds.

Wx86 for NT/PPC is mythic as the VMware Tools for OS/2 and the Phoenix Corebuilder for NoteBIOS (corebuilderp.exe) tools.

Also “Dependency Walker 2.2” has a Windows PPC version. http://www.dependencywalker.com/

There was too a program called “Wx86.exe” that was able to run x86 win32 on WinPPC, but it does not seem to be available anywhere.
