Stravaganza Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I may be blind but can someone direct me to the link of the Hardware Compatitiblities of efi-x. I looked all over the efi-x website but to no avail. http://www.efi-x.com/index.php?option=com_...anguage=englishPRODUCTS (as the third menu) --> EFiX DESKTOP PC's (as the first submenu) --> Compatible Hardware List (as the second tab) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110295-efix-osx86-gone-commercial/page/12/#findComment-793774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMookMook Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks for replying so quickly! I am very disapointed with the motherboards and why no love for NVIDIA motherboards. I'm waiting until my 2 GTX280 Graphics Cards to be supported.

I'm waiting until my 2 GTX280 Graphics Cards to be supported.Sorry to hear that. One thing to remember is that EFiX is not a magical device. If Apple has never been adapted a device in their products, the device cannot be supported even with the perfect emulation of EFiX due to the lack of proper kexts. (nVidia chipset motherboards nor nVidia GTXes are never adapted in Apple products.) If you are gonna wait for EFiX support of GTX280, the waiting time is bounded by Apple's adaption of the graphics card (not by EFiX's support for the graphics card). I think you might be able to use GTX280 by a means of backward compatibility now anyway.

titooo Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 It sounds good but I’m still waiting for info about Efi-x for notebooks… It seems that it just basically let’s you install Leopard from the original dvd and if you buy the “EFiX USB Deluxe / Sound” you won’t need to install any kexts. Am I right? So if your motherboard isn’t supported, I guess I could install it anyway, but I’ll have to install the kexts as I’m doing with Kalyway now…. So aprt of the advantages as updates and things like that. Will be the performance better than Kalyway? will my computer work better with efi-x than with kalyway? ps: sorry for my English, im still sleepy...

Stravaganza Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 It seems that it just basically let’s you install Leopard from the original dvd and if you buy the “EFiX USB Deluxe / Sound” you won’t need to install any kexts. Am I right?Yes and no depending on what you have on your laptop. If your laptop has all compatible components (I doubt it), you won't even need to buy EFiX's sound card. As far as I see, EFiX device gets rid of the need for the following assuming your motherboard is supported by the device: PC_EFI, dsmos.kext, modified AppleSMBIOS.kext, modified AppleHDA.kext and ALCInject.kext or EFI string for audio (assuming audio CODEC is compaible), Natit.kext or NVinject.kext or EFI string for graphics (assuming graphics card is compatible), modified AppleACPIPlatform, turn-off-all-cores trick. In addition, it will make the following available, I believe: temperature on processor and system, battery indicator. But then I don't see the point of all this fuzzy excitement on this device (now this credit goes to netkas). Well, that's just me. (All I am concerning now is with Snow Leopard's 64 bit kernel, I won't be able to use AppleAzaliaAudio.kext, which is a 32 bit driver, to turn on my ALC662. What on earth. I may stick to the 32 bit kernel version. It's not like I am gonna buy 4TB RAM.)

macita Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 If i go to buy a car, and the seller say to me...THIS CAR CAN GO UP EVERY HILL WITHOUT PROBLEMS...i repeat to you EVERY HILLS... then i go to buy a car and i discover that this car can go only up hills under 600 feets... Do you not feel your self a bit cheated? Is this a way to start a good commercial businness? Honesty first... always.

MrMookMook Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 When I go on the eFix website and try to view the pictures on the eFix for desktop PC's and then click on eFix USB 1 the pictures next to the eFix exclusive features are not viewable. A.k.a on Safari they have a question mark on the center of the picture. It could be just me or is this happening for everyone. I am only interested because I want to see the Interactive Boot Selector.

Suhail Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The pictures are not loading. This ain't browser specific since the wrong content type is being set for the JPG images.

Stravaganza Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I don't think they make people wait on purpose. They are simply busy finishing the device as a product or finding distributors over seas. After all, it is a small company with a less-than-professional-looking CEO. Now, off the topic. Here is a more interesting entertaining development: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=112109 (Finally some moderator deleted the linked thread. Thank you.)

Well, you guessed wrong. I don't assume anything about who's managing the website. I, however, think that the company is not professional enough as I implied in the previous post. And the following is my only assumption I made in the previous post: they are too small and unexperienced to do psychological warfare with their customers (Steve Jobs's favorite), i.e. making their customers wait in excitement on purpose, and they are still working on the release.

parachute Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I respect Netkas and all the talented developers who made OS X on x86 a reality. Trying to make money by this talent seems a bit dangerous to me. Selling a real product and talking about "Apple labeled computers" seem a bit dangerous. If I were you and wanted money, I'd use my talents on another platform which was accepted both legal and ethical. Have you completed the copyright and trademark processes BTW? Do it and contact Apple. You can have a lot of money in a lot shorter time if you ask me. They will buy the product from you and consider what they can do with it before or after buying. This is their OS at last... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110295-efix-osx86-gone-commercial/page/12/#findComment-794060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
