Allan Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Welcome to InsanelyMac! Your hardware is compatible with OS X, but not your WiFi, you can replace it with other WiFi (compatible) chip or USB dongle.

kokomokid Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Thank you Allan. The problem I am having now is that I do not have access to an OS X system.. I am trying to get a Installation USB together... I put Yosemite Zone onto a USB drive via Transmac however it got stuck at a flashing cursor after selecting Boot from USB on the Hardware mentioned above.. However it DID boot clear thru on another PC I have but I didnt install it on there... Now I know Yosemite Zone isnt really supported here but I just tried it out first since I could use Transmac instead of having to make the USB from an OS X install.. Any suggestions on where to start to get OS X up and running on my hardware? Thanks SO much in advance!
