thattallchap Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Oh enlightened ones, Has anyone had any success in transforming the rotund Sony VGX-TP1E into a 10.5.x Mac Mini complete with HDMI? If so, can i ask what were the pitfalls (Changing of Wfi etc) as the spec suggests that its a "goer" 965 Chipset (ICH8), 950Video with HDMI, Mavell NIC(Yukon2 kext) Cheers chaps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/159840-sony-vgx-tp1e-mac-mini/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Milton Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Am i the only one to have thought of this hi TallChap Ive been trying this for a few days now with no success. The Sony VGX-TP1E is a dreadul piece of machinery. I regretted buying it almost immediately and have rarely used it because its so painful to use. Despite following loads of different posted instructions from all over the web I cant get it to migrate into an OS X machine or find any evidence of compatibility on the osx86 wikis of any OS X version with the basic chipset Can any of the osx86 masters can help us? Our system information from CPU-Z is: Processors Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Processor 1 ID = 0 Number of cores 2 (max 2) Number of threads 2 (max 2) Name Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5500 Codename Merom Specification Intel® Core2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz Package (platform ID) Socket 479 mPGA (0x5) CPUID 6.F.2 Extended CPUID 6.F Core Stepping L2 Technology 65 nm Core Speed 1662.6 MHz Multiplier x FSB 10.0 x 166.3 MHz Rated Bus speed 665.0 MHz Stock frequency 1666 MHz Instructions sets MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T L1 Data cache 2 x 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size L1 Instruction cache 2 x 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size L2 cache 2048 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size FID/VID Control yes FID range 6.0x - 10.0x Max VID 1.175 V Chipset ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Northbridge Intel i945GM rev. 03 Southbridge Intel 82801GHM (ICH7-M DH) rev. 02 Memory Type DDR2 Memory Size 1024 MBytes Channels Dual Memory Frequency 332.5 MHz (1:2) CAS# latency (CL) 5.0 RAS# to CAS# delay (tRCD) 5 RAS# Precharge (tRP) 5 Cycle Time (tRAS) 15 Bank Cycle Time (tRC) 5 MCHBAR I/O Base address 0x0FED14000 MCHBAR I/O Size 4096 Any help gratefully appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/159840-sony-vgx-tp1e-mac-mini/#findComment-1267461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
