SteveM Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Found it,,,, (cant download)Who's testing it???? This should just be a matter of reblessing the current xom.efi, right? In other words you won't have to reinstall xp.. And is it me or are those codes you have to type in order to download really hard to read?

shaner Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I have a feeling (though unfounded) that you would need to reinstall, those drivers are talking about being installed right after xp.

SteveM Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Got the download to say this: Download-Ticket has been requested. There are 131 people in queue before you. Next refresh in 14 seconds. As soon as your downloadslot is available for you, you have one minute to start the download. Otherwise the slot will be freed for another user. Yikes!

BUT, since the fans DON'T work currently.... if for the time being all i use is FireFox and AIM, will it melt, damage, hurt anything? FireFox, AIM?

ToXic_WaSTe Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 created a Mirc channel irc://irc.macspeak.net/driverhunt (Hopeing this will become the preferred channel on video drivers) For those who want to dicuss the drivers and for those who are testing the xom file....

neosublime Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Well I installed the xom.efi file to /system/library/coreservices an reblessed it. Rebooted and I could here XP startup, but could only see the grey windows flag bootloader screen. BUT Iam on a 20" iMac, so this may work for some one else.
