Pemdawg Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Might it be possible to hack BIOS bootstrapping into 10.4.4 using the developer's version of 1.4.3? Just find what parts of code are for booting and replace them with BIOS calls?

regularg0nz0 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I can't see any reason that 10.4.4 won't eventually be cracked. This is based on previous evperience that ANYTHING that can be protected can be cracked), but if the past in any indicator, we're probably looking at at-least four to six months before anything stable is developed. While that might not be a long time in Microsoft Years, it's still quite a while in tech-time, and by that time, nobody's going to be worrying about SSE2 and single-core CPU's, most likely. Save your pennies. Get a MacBook, iMac Duo, or a... um.... DuoMac? Macintosh Duo? Wait. I know. Macintosh Pro. (Can i copyright that somewhere? really?) Bottom line is, I think we signed on for a ride that was sweet, but was relatively short on existing hardware. And Apple used us nicely. We generated tremendous single-core benchamarks for them to back up their dual-core speed claims, we got the OS going and told everyone that would listen that it runs and feels just like a Mac on intel... nobody would buy that coming from them, but from us... absolutely. And to be perfectly honest, all I really want is a functional machine to run GarageBand since my venerable B&W kicked until the Mac Pro's come out.
