While examining the AppleSMBIOS.kext binary from the 10.5.3 beta of Leopard, a member discovered a mention of a Hewlett Packard server, the ProLiant DL140 G3 Server. After some investigations, we’ve noticed that the hardware used by this server is rather close to what is already used by current Macs. : Intel graphics, 2 broadcom network NICs, and a 5000X motherboard, which is very close to the Mac Pro. So what does this mean? Is Apple planning to license OSX for this non-apple hardware?
The string was found at offset 292D, also notice the « Apple Hardware=0 » string
