reedog117 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I installed the Marklar-Tiger.dmg (converted to ISO) with the Release1 Patch I also installed the Maxxus 0.5c patches and everything seems to be okay. My system Dell Inspiron 8600 Pentium M 1.4 Ghz Geforce FX Go 5650 128 MB (running 1280x1024 on my 1680x1050 screen) 512 MB RAM 60 GB HD (OSX86 in 15 GB, XP/OSX86 dualboot, Maxxus 0.5c installed) Truemobile 1300 MPCI 802.11b/g (working with modified Airport kext) BCM440x 10/100 (working) 400 Mbps Firewire (working? shows up but haven't tested it) DVD+RW (working? shows up but haven't tested it) My USB scanner shows up too although I haven't tried installing twain drivers yet Plugging in USB hard drives seems to work fine. So does connecting via my home network to my XP system that I use as a file server. Has anyone tried getting a printer plugged into the printer port (LPT1) to work? I have an old HP Laserjet 4 I would like to use. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2510-success-inspiron-8600/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeph Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 MACs have never afaik had Parallel ports so I doubt there is support for Parallel printers in OSx86, some USB ones might work tho, there seems to be a fair number of drivers.
