<br>... both of which are actually "barebone" products, as was the Shuttle

<br>
<br>I have previously detailed how to get a desktop Intel Atom 330 up to
<br>10.6.7 with all updates and everything working (everything which I
<br>could check out to my satisfaction, of course).
<br>
<br>Here are the software basics:
<br>
<br>1) Snow Leopard 10.6 (AKA, 10.6.0) or 10.6.3 full legal "retail" DVD,
<br>
<br>2) iBOOT Legacy, from tonymacx86's site,
<br>
<br>3) MultiBeast, also from tonymacx86's site,

<br>
<br>5) 10.6.7 Legacy Kernel Installer (Google is your friend, here), and
<br>
<br>6) my GMA950/ICH7 DSDT, from the Files section of this site.
<br>
<br>Now, NO version of 10.6 will successfully boot on an Intel Atom
<br>desktop version without iBOOT Legacy, and that is usually enough to
<br>get the 10.6 or 10.6.3 Installer to install an instance of MacOS X
<br>installed on the target's hard drive.
<br>
<br>However, that is NOT enough to get a self-booting MacOS X on an Atom
<br>330.
<br>
<br>You MUST have the legacy kernel for the version of 10.6.x which you
<br>intend to operate from, and that usually means 10.6.7.
<br>
<br>Also, to get all devices, particularly including USB, to work, you
<br>must have my DSDT.
<br>
<br>My DSDT also provides a GMA950 device which supports all resolutions
<br>and also CI and QE, using only Apple's kexts, meaning there will be no
<br>cursor sticking or other anomalies.
<br>
<br>My DSDT also provides a generic HDEF device, with which the 0.2.1
<br>version of Voodoo from MultiBeast will provide basic (read, 2.0)
<br>sound, at least for the Shuttle X27D.
<br>
<br>While I DO NOT own either of the SuperMicro products, nor the Intel
<br>board level product from which the SuperMicro products were obviously
<br>developed, I DO own and use a Shuttle X27D, and it has been operating
<br>flawlessly for more than a year on 10.5.6 and 10.5.6 Server (10.5.7
<br>and 10.5.8 are not an option, due mainly to lack of available
<br>kernels), and I have been operating for the best part of a month on
<br>10.6.7 with no KPs or other issues.
<br>
<br>If there is sufficient interest, I will try to provide a Guide.
<br>
<br>However, most experienced hackers will know how to properly use the
<br>referenced programs.
