toshiba_mac24 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have the same computer. I just found one and downloaded it. I used the 10.4.10 Kalyway install DVD. Everything worked out right for me too. What are your specs? I can help you figure out which drivers you need for your install. Also as a note, do not install OS X onto your laptop drive, make sure that you have an external hard drive either partitioned to fit the OS X system, or format the entire drive and use it as the OS system. I feel that works better so that way you will not have any corrupted files for system of Vista and having to reformat your C:/ drive all the time. I made that mistake once. So just format the external hard drive to the OS X file format using either diskpart or gparted or whatever program you plan to use the format to HFS+. LEt me know what install DVD yuo chose nad make sure that you burn it to a blank DVD-R otherwise it will not read properly. toshiba_mac24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Djukic Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thanx for sharing your experience with me, do i need to unpack Kalyway Leopard on already installed Tiger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Djukic Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 and can you please tell me which drivers have you selected during install? Thanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshiba_mac24 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well for drivers, I was told that for the GMA 950 graphics I ahd to use the GMA 900 driver because the 950 one is broken. I also have the Realtek audio and there is a kext called Azalia Audio that gives audio only to your built-in speakers. I tried to plug in my headphones and they would not work, it only works with the speakers on the laptop. As for the webcam I did not need any drivers, but you will find that no matter how much light you have, the webcam screen will always be black. I also needed to checked all the realtek ethernet drivers on the install DVD because I do not know which one made my ethernet work. If you really want to know what model of the A200 I have, I have the TR6 that was taken off the market a couple months ago. Try searching for it on Google. The toshiba site does not advertise it anymore unless it could be in the discontinued models category. And personally, I have not tried Leopard yet. So if you are going to try, let me know how the install goes and I will see if it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Djukic Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have successfully installed iATKOS v1.0i, everything is working just fine, except of built in webcam, it appears like everything is ok, but when i try to start some app that uses webcam it goes blank, besides that everything is great and the installation and a first boot went without any problems whatsoever. BTW my model is 1N2. Now i'm gonna try install it on my other laptop MSI VR600, i have try it before but i never succeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicWTF Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I also have a satellite A200, iAKTOS v1.0i worked for my first boot, but never booted again after that, if anyone knows of a better distro please tell me, I want to get back into using OS X.

sensimeon Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 will this work on my <h1 style="margin-top: 2px; width: 620px;">A205-S7468?</h1> anyone attempted leopard yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicWTF Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'm running Leo (iATKOS 2.0i) as my main OS, the only thing you need to be wary of is if you have an intel 3945 wifi card (no drivers, so no internet except wired/USB) and keep in mind the fans no longer work, so it gets "warm" although I've left mine on and it's never overheated (I use a wii intercooler to keep my A200 cool and cozy.

redcloud77 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hey guys I am new on here and really do not know alot about computers, but a friend of mine does.

elribonazo Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Yes, of course, can you specify your drivers, so that someone can tellyou the version you should use. For new users, Some Laptop Pc's From Toshiba Have Beta "Suports ss2 ss3 ss4" Intel Procesors like t8100, that are the same that apple use in their mac, I tell that for people who want to buy a new laptop.
