hey eric. good to hear from you. test and development engineers are able to implement both genuine apple and non apple systems as platform runners but from an official standpoint apple has put a stop to it in snow leopard.
what folk don't realise on the hackintosh point is there is a speciality chip for security functions unlike a windows rig which is open end. this security chip is constantly being checked. so the hack isn't strong enough. not only that but since 10.6.6 that code was strengthened and as part of firmware updates, the security chip has extra protection measures as well as boot support from network master / sub systems. lew On 8 Feb 2012, at 03:20, Eric Oyen wrote: > finding them hasn't been the problem.. finding the money to buy any of them > is a very big issue.
