TheMaxx32000 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hey guys, I just ordered this Laptop http://www.mitac.dk/w.asp?s=inc&i=1&am...=121&p=true which hopefully is 100% supported by MacOS (LAN is Intel 1GBit, WLAN is Atheros Mini PCIE not 3945ABG Intel, Audio Azalia ALC883) Since I have to wait for 1-2 weeks I asked myself if "EFI Architecture, 512KB Flash EPROM (TBD), include System BIOS, Plug &Play capability ACPI 2.0 & 2.3 compliant" means, that this Laptop supports EFI and has a BIOS-EFI-Plugin. The other way round: Do you think there is a chance for, lets say the X1600-drivers, to work out-of-the-box (or at least with just DevID adding) Also, if it is EFI capable, whats about the Darwin-Boot-Loader, do I still need it. And, since I got a Yonah-CPU do I need the patched 10.4.4 Kernel (why do we use it? Because of beeing the last one supported by Darwin-Boot-Loader or just because of the missing calls/functions for all x86 CPU's except for yonah??) Maybe you can help me find some answers to these questions. And I know, that I could just wait and try it out myself - but 2 weeks can be soooooo damn long....

Neonkoala Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Check the xlabs for current EFI status. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showforum=74 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25746-efi-architecture-efi-and-other-questions/#findComment-174386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 wow, what a cool set up. Is there a 17" version of it, too ?? [EDIT] well not exactly: http://www.mitac.dk/w.asp?s=inc&i=1&id=115 it has the Wireless LAN Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG .. - but also based on EFI. Please inform us how OS x86 runs on that Laptop. Good luck with everything .. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25746-efi-architecture-efi-and-other-questions/#findComment-174602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
