Think it may work on a macbook 1.1 or Macbook pro 8.1? Both have
maxed out memory according to OWC.
For you Macheads out there, I just installed Yosemite on my MacPro
using a custom bootloader. I've used the same means to do so with
previous version of OS X that weren't supported by Apple for my
"antiquated" hardware - a MacPro 1,1 upgraded to 2,1 firmware with
14GB of RAM, four drives (boot drive is a 128GB SSD), ATI HD 5870
with flashed firmware and dual 23" Cinema Displays.
Yosemite is running great from a secondary drive and I'll continue
to run it in parallel with Mavericks for a week or so until I'm
convinced it's stable. At that point I'll move it on to the SSD and
run it as my primary operating system.
The bootloader approach to installing Yosemite is pretty simple and
can be done by just about anyone. Earlier OS versions using
Mavericks have been automated by a developer with a utility he wrote
called "SFOTT", In this case all you need is a copy of Mavericks
and a USB drive and you can easily load Mavericks on a legacy Mac
that isn't supported (by Apple) for Mavericks.
He has already started the process to make SFOTT work with Yosemite
but has some work to do for it to work with the golden master
release.
If you have questions about this drop me a PM and I'll be more than
happy to assist. This whole arrangement of supporting older OS' on
legacy hardware has been great - I have a fantastic piece of
hardware that can run the latest operating systems without issues.
