EFiX: OSx86 gone commercial?

I hope it's not, cause that mean it's like an OEM product, so you have to be sure of your motherboard choise and take care of it. (or make a stock.)

If so, lets hope it's upgradeable for new mb's

He doesn't write English very well so it's hard to tell what he means by that. My understanding is EFiX emulates the EFI BIOS of different motherboards. That's why you have to order based on a specific motherboard. As far as I know, very little has been done in the EFI area other than an intermediate layer (thanks, netkas) that translates calls for EFI functions to standard BIOS calls. EFiX seems to be actual EFI code itself. In that case there would not be any "kext" code in it at all, so he might be right.

 

BTW I think you overestimate the "contributions" of this "community" in this area. Fact is, 99.5% of hackintosh code is provided by Apple. The rest is provided by maybe 20 people. 20 people cranking out code used by hundreds of thousands of people does not meet my definition of "community". To me it translates into "20 dedicated people producing code for the leeches". The ratio of people actually contributing to the ones taking and using it is at least 10,000 to 1. You "our community this" and "our community that" types crack me up.

I understand EFiX would "be" the efi code itself, however I bet they included a couple of kexts onto the chip to support a bit broader hardware? Might be wrong.

I wasn't reffering to the "x86 community" per se, but to the open source freely available code for various device drivers for bsd/linux kernels which I suppose would help driver writers so they don't have to go from scratch (as you've used as a starting point for the bcm ethernet card driver).

so whats the deal; is efix available or not? I saw someone had ordered one to the U.S.; I can't seem to find a valid link on the website.

Here you go.

Hey, is there any different between it and BOOT-DFE ?

Thanks

so does efi-x work as promised? please whoever has it TELL US EVERYTHING!!! ASAP!!!

Nice. Ordered mine, will not arrive before 15th...

Mine is still stuck at the customs... I know why now, they need a real address instead of a p.o. box... If I only knew that... Should be here this friday though.

Aren't you using the same funny communication strategy than Apple?

Well, a keynote for Efix would be great.

ONE MORE THING...

keynote soon just have to arrange a meeting with steve jobs haha

Could one of you nice gentlemen who posted screens; please post a screen of the website you bought it off? lol.

I have been poking around on efi-x.com and their listed vendors' sites for an hour now.

Either its not to be found; or I'm /retarded.

Thanks!

Follow the Switzerland Vendor's link it will take you to his site!

Maybe I'll try again in morning;

Is that who you guys ordered through? how many euros was it?

Thanks,

As i said in a previous post:

The Dateline saga continues: x1000

This is what I got, and I quote:

"Please note: The delivery will not be made before 15th september ex works in taiwan.

 

Do note hesitate to ask us if you have further questions.

 

Kind regards,"

 

So start dreaming again!!!

Just my fifty pence, here, as I have no connection whatsoever with the company.

Startup companies, unless they have been put together by a team with a lot of business experience and contacts, rarely hit their target dates to begin with. It's a given. It's hard and frustrating work and they deserve supportive words. The mistake, here, has been a lack of communication to smooth the path, to the extent that many doubt it exists as a functioning product. Also, not to the labor the much repeated point but why weren't there reviews, months and months ago, even if of a work in progress?

A few minutes ago I was looking at the Review Topic that was in Front Page News and Rumors and now a few minutes later it is gone. What happened?

Mr Mook Mook

It will be back as soon as there is any real news.(i.e. a review) One news topic about efi-x is surely enough?

Yeah, you are right. It gets confusing if there is more than 1.

Mr Mook Mook

For sure...

Thanx to keep this place clean!

I'm realy curious about this stuff (i.e. EFI-X) but I don't understand the way they communicate... Who do they think we are ? dummies consummers ?

Let's post a review then we'll be fixed on what it is...

I appreciate keeping things tidy as well, but that new topic had actual pictures, which means it's not just a rumor anymore. I think it's "news" when the product is actually being delivered after so many people called it fake. Now Snow Leopard, that's still a rumor. At least its capabilities are rumored, but it has has 2 forum topics here. I guess that's different somehow.

I can understand waiting for an actual review, although whoever started that topic might think twice about posting one if he thinks his topics are getting deleted. And the admins seem to have an axe to grind about EFiX for some reason.

Pictures already Here

poster better post it again at hackint0sh, we at least doesnt delete topics there (which has nothing to do with piracy)

and Hagar is so angry because eh tried to get one device for free, for review, and failed
