Word in the OSX86 world is that a new product will revolutionize (and simplify) the process of installing OS X on a PC – and that product is called the EFiX. The USB dongle allegedly pops into a free port and allows you to install the retail version of the Mac operating system on just about any system by automatically locating the proper hacks and drivers needed. Famed OSX86 hacker Netkas has demoed a beta unit on video (which you can see after the break) and claims that it’s working as it should. The manufacturer is aiming to have models available for purchase by June 23rd… barring any more “sabotage.” This sounds like a much more reasonable solution than marketing a Mac clone – feel free to send one our way whenever you like guys.
EFix has updated their site with some more details on its voodoo USB dongle that’ll supposedly boot, install and run OS X “unmodified,” straight from the DVD on any PC (Intel processors only though). Among the freshly listed goods are “official Apple Updates,” an interactive system boot selector and power management features.
Under the list of products now are desktop and notebook versions, as well as one for PCI slots (which would be sweetness), and a complete system (a la Psystar, presumably). FYI, doubting Steves, the dongle “is a completely unique device with very intricate protection above and beyond your wildest imagination.” The “About Us” and “Where to Buy” tabs are still blank.
