Success on ABIT AS8 Motherboard

[CodeMonkey]

Just got my hands on a copy of OS X (10.4.1) x86... Installed it on my development machine earlier with no major problems.

 

The machine's specification is:

 

P4 2.8Ghz [LGA755] (Over-Clocked to 3.2Ghz) with Hyper Threading

Abit AS8 (Intel 865PE Chipset) Motherboard

On-Board LAN/USB/Firewire (all work perfectly!)

ALC658 Audio Codec (Realtek/Advance Logic)

2GB DDR 400Mhz RAM (2 x 1Gb DIMM's)

80Gb Western Digital SATA HDD

Phillips IDE CD/DVD

ATi Radeon 9250 AGP (256Mb) Gfx Card

Belkin F8T001 USB Adaptor (internally fitted)

PS/2 Keyboard & Mouse

 

Few small points worth mentioning:

 

* Had to copy the "AppleAC97Audio.kext" file from the Darwin ISO.

* Modified the 'com.apple.Boot.plist' file to include "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" option.

 

So far everything I've thrown at it works, including a number of PPC applications I normally use on my "real" Mac. (Microsoft Office X, Firefox, MSN Messenger, iTunes, etc. etc.).

 

Impressive stuff!
