Now I'm curious if it's possible to boot up 10.6 or 10.9 on new hardware.

- Rebelgecko 4y agoFor newer Intel hardware, 32 bit support would be an issue
- userbinator 4y agoWhy would it be? AFAIK the latest x86 CPUs, despite using EFI BIOS, still start off in 16-bit realmode at the reset vector, and most if not all of the BIOS code is going to be 32-bit protected mode code.
- icybox 4y agoThere was a thread about running older versions of OSX and macos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31164521 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31164521 In that thread, you get to learn how you can run latest chromium on Maverics. Firefox is a toast now. General rule of thumb being don't run old OS and old browser on internet-facing machine. you could still get mac minis that would run 10.9 officially without the headaches. (2012 vintage ...) EDIT: There are drivers missing for newer hardware in 10.6-10.9. Haven't tried if OCLP could help with this.
