Liam, thank you so much for this information! I did not know about all the HACKINTOSH action out there!
Good to hear that one system will use SATA drive > I will just have to find some old installable OS for it. The family of the deceased engineer that passed these on to us at the SMECC Museum project tossed most any paperwork or media , so we have what is installed on the system and of course for the diskless one we are empty handed. We we were out scrounging now I wish I had picked up more vintage MAC paperwork and discs now. We saved stuff related to the early MAC and of course ANYTHING we could find for the APPLE II. We do also have something that looks like an APPLE LISA but not the twiggi (sp?) drive model I have heard reference to. it turned on last time I tried but just a bunch of diddle crap all over the screen. (bogus contents of memory mapped video or!?? <this machine is a mystery to me I saw it when it came out but that is abut the only experience I have had with LISA remember I was a HP guy in the business days... I do remember going over to a store in Metrocenter in AZ and seeing one for the first time with a MOUSE on it! I was amazed... Again... thanks for the hints and help now and in the future.

Takes any old SATA drive, as far as I recall. No special firmware needed. Will run up to OS X 10.5, nothing later. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR)
