Daxziz Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 The Fujitsu Siemens E Series Lifebook 8020 with the Intel graficcard ( build-in ) is very compatible with OS X, but not Out Of The Box. First the hardware info: CPU: Intel Centrino 1.73 ( NO SSE3 ) RAM: 512 MB DDR RAM. HD: 60 GB SATA Harddisk ( Fujitsu MHT2060BH ) BT: Alps Bluetooth IR: SMC IrCC USB: USB ( 4x ) FW: FireWire NIC: Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection NIC: Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet DVD: Mat{censored}a UJ-831Db SND: Not sure - info is odd. Will google it. GFX: Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family ( listed twice ) So what works: CPU: Intel Centrino 1.73 ( YES: With the SSE2Hack of course ) RAM: 512 MB DDR RAM ( YES ) HD: 60 GB SATA Harddisk ( Fujitsu MHT2060BH ) ( YES: Tweaking in BIOS.. instructions below ) BT: Alps Bluetooth ( YES ) IR: SMC IrCC - Not Sure.. Not tested USB: USB ( 4x ) ( YES ) FW: FireWire ( YES ) NIC: Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection ( NO ) NIC: Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet ( NO ) DVD: Mat{censored}a UJ-831Db ( YES: Burning is listed as unsupported ) SND: Not sure - info is odd. Will google it. ( YES: No info in System Profiler though ) GFX: Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family ( listed twice ) ( VESA3 only ) As you can see you get a good amount of stuff going, but no ethernet, so this is of course a problem. I haven't been lucky with any of the network kexts from this board, so I doubt it's near any support at the moment. Best bet from me is of course that you buy an OS X compatible adaptor for USB. PCMCIA you can try but I haven't been lucky with any of my current PCMCIA cards in it sooo it's a bit unsure if it will work with any at all. The most important step in getting OS X to run on this computer is to disbale AHCI under the SATA settings in BIOS. Otherwise OS X can't find the HD. Just a small warning though... It might have been this which killed my XP install on the drive ( BSOD during bootup in Windows ) so be sure to backup your data before going into BIOS and disabling this. If you can simply turn it back when wanting to boot Windows is probably an option, but as I haven't tested I can't really tell. I hope this report will be of help to others :-) Cheers -Daxziz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4476-fujitsu-lifebook-e-series-8020-intel-gfx/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdull Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Just give you some hint.... try a USB wireless device.. Buffalo keychain works for me. (BTW, I have a fujitsu S6420) you can hack the CI & QE support with a dummy s-video adaptor.

(BTW, I have a fujitsu S6420) you can hack the CI & QE support with a dummy s-video adaptor. The USB wireless dongle I already know about and I expect to do so. The other hack I'll have to search for :-) -Daxziz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4476-fujitsu-lifebook-e-series-8020-intel-gfx/#findComment-28624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
