x505 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I am looking for someone to help me get 10.4.x up and running on my Sony x505. This is a relatively uncommon model and I couldn't find info on whether or not this will even work. I contacted one forum member who has an x505 and they ran into difficulties. If you are an experienced OSx86'er and you think you can make this happen please contact me so we can talk about terms. I have included specs on the x505 below. Thanks!

=-Devin-= Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 How are you going to INSTALL it with no DVDROM drive? Do you have an external USB one or something?
