floydiananalysis Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T61 with the following hardware: Intel T9300 2.5 GHz processor Vista Ultimate 32-bit 4 GB RAM Intel GM965 Chipset Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M 128 MB 160 GB SATA HD Intel 4965AGN WiFi Bluetooth 82566MM Gigabit LAN "ThinkPad Modem" (not that I need it...) SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio What do I have to do to get OS X on it? I own a Leopard disc from the days of having a MacBook (before I got rid of it because it fell apart and I got a shiny new ThinkPad instead). Which distro of OSx86 would work with my hardware? I would want to dual-boot Vista and Leopard. Thanks in advance guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydiananalysis Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 But will OS X play nice with the Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M video card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Vandez Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi there, I have the same machine that you own and I am looking to see whether Mac OS is compatible with it or not, can you please let me know whether you had any success installing 10.5.* on the T61 or not. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasaK Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well, I have the same Lenovo that you guys have and for now I wouldn't recomend installing Kalyway 10.5.2 for the followin: 1- No video support for Quadro NVS 140M (Could get it working with an intel driver and it looks terribly bad) 2- No sound support. 3- No wireless or wired support. The three main devices are not supported. We'd better wait for a future release. BTW I already installed it and didn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInSane Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Lenovo T61 ethernet card works (it's the intel device 8086:1049 rev3), using the kext attached to the first post of this thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=130425. The audio kext attached to that post also works. Tested with jas 10.5.2, and the patched kexts from jakal82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
