OSX on T43P?

#1 Post by pm_john » Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:43 pm

Hi, new guy here, has anyone installed OSX 10.5 on a T43P with QE working? I am thinking of giving it a try. Any hints, instructions etc would be greatly appreciated!

Hi new guy, welcome!

As all such basic questions are usually already answered, it is usually sufficent to search for already existing answers.

Here is a first hint: www.google.com/search?q=OSX+on+T43P
Second possibility: www.google.com/search?&q=OSX%20on%20T43 ... nkpads.com

Good luck with your endeavour!

If you just want the look and feel of OSX, but don't want the hassle of installing a Mac OS on a PC, I can recommend Macbuntu. Most people won't be able to tell the difference, and it works great on a T43. I've used it for a few months on a R52 (same basic system as T43) and enjoyed it. You can even try it before you install, to see if it does what you want it to do.
Collection = T430 - T500 - R400 - X300 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - R61 (15" SXGA+) - T60 - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P
