Hello Shaun, Chris, Scott, and Others,
This is an answer to a request of where to find copies of Leopard
install disks at less outrageous prices. Try FastMac for new retail
copies of the Leopard Disc for $179.95. This price seems high in
comparison with the original $130 charge from Apple,

Hi.
What are all those strange characters starting with =?
They seem to clutter up posts with mime attached html.
They are generated by Winblow$ and its email programs,
and unix can not decode them.
I would much appreciate a copy of this post

Hi,
The EFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an
operating system and a platform firmware. The Extensible Firmware Interface is
a much larger, much more complex OS-like replacement for the old BIOS firmware

Hello James,
Here are a few things you could try.
First, use your Snow Leopard install disc to do a disk repair. If necessary,
rerun it several times.
Next, how full is your HD? You need 10% free for your Mac to function properly.
You could try applying the 10.6.2 combo updater.

Yeah, makes sense. Otherwise, JAWS thinks it's a different system essentially.

You must set your vm the way yu want it, activate Jaws, and leave it that way.

Hi,
Intel Macs do not have Open Firmware. That was a mistake on my part. EFI
doesn't seem to have an interface, though I suppose that the Boot Manager is
the only exception capable of directly accessing the EFI. The only thing EFI
does have is Legacy BIOS support so that operating systems requi
Do new macs even have this any more? I would think the EFI must have similar
settings to play with somewhere, but not sure where they are.

Hmm. Well, at least now I know why it won't let me boot into 64-bit mode. My

models including Mac Mini by the look of it. I have no idea exactly

I'll quit my constant posting in a moment. :). I forgot to mention that prior
to attempting to boot into 64-bit mode, I made sure my EFI was 64-bit. Those
are the only requirements I know. The processor is the right one, and the EFI
is capable. But the interesting thing is that holdin

Hi,
Oops, I use EFI. I entirely forgot about Open Firmware only working on the
Power-based Macs. Is it still possible to get access to the actual EFI, though,
as you can with Open Firmware? I'm hoping it is, since you can do some quite
interesting things.

Hi,
The latest Macbook. I already checked the firmware as mentioned previously, and
according to that, it's capable of performing the task.

Hi,
Do you use an older Mac? OpenFirmware is used on computers with Power PC
processors, while Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is used in the
Intel-based Macs. So if you use an Intel-based Mac, this won't work.
