I recently installed os x on a pc using iATKOS v5i. everything seems to work fine, except the internet, and sound.
i use ASUS Maximus Formula mother board
network adapter is Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
and the build in sound card is SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio (which i don't normaly use becouse i have E-MU 0404 instaled, but as there are no native drivers for this one for mac, i'd be happy if at least the integrated sound board would work)
when i installed the mac os i did select in customization options to install all network adapter drivers.
regarding the keyboard\mouse - i use microsoft wireless enterteinment desktop7000 set, and i wonder if there is a way to asign one of the keys to be CMD key, is there any mac drivers for this one? also i can't enable the right click in the mouse - it just do nothing then pressed...
please advice !
Thanx in advance!

@thorazine74Regarding sound, the easiest way is using VoodooHDA.kext it should work on most HD Audio chipsets.

The voodooHDA.kext really works! thanks!
i actually installed this one on osx86 system using iPC dvd, instead of iATKOS, as it is more supported, also it supported my network adapted - though affter all i faced some other problems - some of my HDDs doesent show up (though i do see them in Disk Utility when installing the OSx86 ) - but for this issue i'll open another thread.
thanx again for the voodooHDA.kext!
