MAC on ThinkPad T41

[RAF]

Hello everyone,

well, I am a new comer and I hope that I posted in the right place. I need some help with installing MAC on the ThinkPad T41. I don't know what do i need to start things off, I don't even know if I can install a Mac on my T41 even. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you so much,

This thread pops up to the top whenever anyone searches for "thinkpad" it seems, and the absence of an answer is therefore a bit unfortunate. I haven't explicitly tried the T41 but I'm tying this on a T43 and I think the answer is that the CPU is too early for the releases of OSX that get the hack treatment to be able to use it. There are earlier intel-compatible releases that might work, but nobody hacks them! As a rule when I'm looking for machines with hack compatibility I start with Centrino Duo laptops, or preferably even a bit later than that; so I'm here looking for information on a thinkpad T60, which I expect to be able to hack - and my T43 will be stuck on XP/Win 7...

(it would be absolutely fantastic to be able to revive all sorts of older simpler kit with OSX 10.4 using modern hack tech, but I can't see anyone being strongly motivated to try when there's netbooks to work on!)

I have Kalyway 10.5.2 installed on my T42 right now. Everything except powermanagement, ethernet and wireless appears working perfectly. Just gotta get the time to patch /u the drivers for those things and then we will hopefully have saved ~$2000 over a MacBook Pro. :-) Will update the wiki and the forums once I am able to get back to working on it.

the method for t40 worked for me on T42 but boots REALLY SLOW :(
