I don't believe EFILive supports the Mac platform. Not sure if it would work if you bought one of the emulators to run Windoze.

I used EFILive on my older 17" with VirtualPC and on the newer one with Parallels. I think I had some trouble with the serial port version of EFILive. The problem was finding a 232 to USB adapter that worked with the Mac, VPC, and whatever vesion of Windows I was running.

Windows only sorry guys. The Intel powered Macs could use Boot Camp to natively boot Windows XP which should work fine, but nothing native to Mac.

Sounds like a good time for EFILvie to invest in some Macs. I'd love to do a Mac version of EFILive.

Regards
Paul

Funny you should mention that ....

I have used linux since it was born, but nowdays I just use a Mac. It runs *nix with a decent GUI on top. I would rather see a Mac version, but I suspect the number of potential linux users is greater and I could live with that. But, good luck porting windows GUI code to the Mac, let alone X.

I ended up buying it and using my friends pc laptop till i get one for myself(he and i are together a lot...) anyways, found out i could get virtual pc or other 250$ programs but its just not worth it when i could get a brand new laptop for 450ish. Gunna wait it out for a while.

"Port" was the wrong word. "Write a version for Mac" is what I should have said.
