MiniHack Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere (couldn't spot a thread!), but the new Commodore looks enticing for retro fans and is plainly specced with OSX in mind. Take a look. Clearly pointing out that an EFI based OS can be installed.....but trying to avoid attracting the attention of lawyers. Nicely done and I would love one of these in my living room - if I didn't already have my Zotac and other toys. Anyone on here working on this?

MiniHack Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 very nice, very nice. Having done a little digging, looks like the hints that it is OSX compatible may be a little overblown though - it seems the integrated graphics (GMA 3100) is not QE/CI supported and with no separate slot for a video card it looks unlikely to be HD compatible. So it'll work, but with crippled graphics.....maybe apt for a Commodore 64!!!

ameris_cyning Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Where is the Commodore logo? Some sites are reporting that this is a possible hoax.

Espionage724 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 An EFI OS can be customer self-installed using an unmodified dvd install disk (requires additional optional hardware, available elsewhere). Hmmmm, that is a nice way to "hide" the obvious Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/219036-commodore-phoenix-mac-friendly/#findComment-1474893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
