@GFXhunter,

Thanks a lot, your video is the only proof of possibility to install MacOS on my model, that I was able to find so far.

Can you plz check your model code, to make sure the harware matches 100%? Mine is 7650-9LU.

And did you get that dreaded Quartz working???

@GFXhunter,

I booted my R61i off your CD and kicked in setup from my copy of SnowLeo, it works just as is it, even sound, thank you!!!!

The only exception is wired network, it doesn't even show in the lists of interfaces. Is your Ethernet card the same?

Mine seems to be Broadcom NetLink Gigabit BCM5787M (from specs).

@GFXhunter,

Thank a lot for fast response! Some difference, your CPU is T2370, mine is T2330, GPU the same. I couldn't find your Ethernet & audio chip specs, can you tell me plz? Mine are BCM5787M and CX20549.

Also, did you patch DSDT before, or boot cd does it, or that's not needed?

Were you able to get firewire to be seen?
