plumbob98 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hello all, I've been doing alot of reading and now I'm really confused. I've read that osx will only work on an ide drive and then I've heard it will work on a sata. Which is better? I now know that your keyboard and mouse have to be usb, but I'm confused about what kind of drive to use! Thanks in Advance!!!!!-Plumbob Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45914-sata-or-ide-drive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used IDE enough times, currently I use SATA (in a RAID even). I don't know about PS/2 mice, but I have used a PS/2 keyboard before.

Embio Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 When I tried OSx86, Darwin only responded to a PS/2 keyboard and Mac OS X to a USB keyboard - probably not true for any other of the infinate hardware combinations but it was strange.

Bruce Wang Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 When I tried OSx86, Darwin only responded to a PS/2 keyboard ........ Did you enable USB KB Support in BIOS?

plumbob98 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thanks for the info guys! I think I'll just have to tinker around with differnt hardware combinations. Thanks again---Plumbob Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45914-sata-or-ide-drive/#findComment-329499 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same exact thing for me. The bootloader only works with a ps2 keyboard and OSX only works with a USB.
