Exactly, my friend Chris Olson got Linux (or whatever) to boot w/o loading Mac-OS-X first. He isn't using OpenBoot, but he uses an escape sequence to open a boot manager _before_ OS-X starts to load. I can get some info from him about this if your interested.... the Mac lists say it is impossible though. ;-) > > a couple of after-market manufacturers making wholesale Mac-machines > > as well. > > I thought all of the Mac licenses were revoked - PowerMac, Motorola > StarMax, UMax - they're all gone, thanks to Apple and Jobs. Yes, for the Mac OS. These are just hardware for those who want to use Debian, Yellowdog, FreeBSD, etc... instead of OS-X. I don't imagine you would have a problem buying OS-X off the shelf and loading it if you wanted though. > Actually, there is a Bochs emulator for MacOS X - I downloaded it. > Unfortunately, it was corrupt. Got to try again... WinTEL has a nicer GUI and is _much_ faster than Bochs. Plex86 development appears to be forking to a bare base to integrate with Bochs to speed things up considerably. Unfortunately, this fork just started in the last 30 days w/o anything in CVS that appears very workable. http://plex86.sf.net > Now I've an AirPort card too. Watch out...
