davidb2002 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yes, it is possible. I managed to get a copy of Jas 10.4.8 and it installed without any problem. However, I made the mistake of clicking system update which ended up with a continuous loop reboot. Oh well, I want to try Leopard instead. So i'll let you guys know. If you know any drivers/tips let me know! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/255539-osx-on-advent-7109b/#findComment-1674931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb2002 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 I managed to get Leopard to run on the laptop. But I need to enable some wifi going. I have a blueNEXT BN-WD54G usb adapter which worked on tiger, but doesn't seem to be picked up on leopard depsite the software running.
