EFI-X : Install Mac OS X on PC from Original DVD!

June 13th, 2008 macgeek Leave a comment Go to comments

This is really HUGE, no I mean HUUUGE !

Finally looks like someone smart has developed a solution for booting and installing Mac OS X on a PC using the original retail (unpatched!!) Mac OS X DVD. W00t is the word!

EFiX is a USB dongle that should allow you to run the orignal DVD on any PC. All you’ll have to do is put the DVD in your drive and start the installation. Isn’t it great.

They planned to release the hardware on 23rd of June, check them out: efi-x.com

Now you don’t have any excuses anymore! Go buy Mac OS X!

netkas got a version of the hardware to test it…

@Savage: If, in your country, the cheapest mac is about 1500 EURs, then you go for another solution.

Stop dreaming of a mac and buy one. Simple.

Does this mean any PC? I have a P4 setup that I wanted to use for osx86...will it work for that or only the hardware listed on the wiki?

Does it run Rosetta for legacy (PPC) applications?

Better use a free and open source CD that does the same and better :-)

netkas tried their efi-x hardware solution and reported on his blog that he successfully booted a macbook's Mac OS X repair DVD. But it failed to install as those will only install on a macbook. I will try to catch some time and ask him more about this hw solution. Stay tuned!

Umm...still nothing available on their site. Pretty pictures and some tantalizing info, but that's it. Like the PsyStar thing, I'll believe it when I read that a mass of people have tried it and found it actually works. Hope this isn't some sort of trick, cause my system just so happens to have one of the 4 supported motherboards listed. Just need a new wifi and 8800 VC and I'm good. Let's hope this is the real thing....
