Mac OSX on the Sony UX-180p?

Dave you started off by creating a MAC OS X virtual machine in VMware on your physical hard drive. Once you install completed you changed the system boot.ini to include the partition where you installed MAC OS X. So now as a boot option MAC OS X also exists. Once you boot the UX to MAC you installed Parralels and then installed Windows inside MAC.
You partitions on a 30gig drive must look like this.

Windows C: = 10 GIG
MAC OS X HFS+ = 20 GIG MINUS 10 OR 5 GIGS FOR WINDOWS RUNNING OFF PARRELEL.

Please correct me if I am wrong, if I am right please post back detailed step by step as I am looking to get my hands on the UX and I have the same goal.

Okay, I'll bite. How did you do it. I have been told that you can't run Mac OS X natively on a PC. The only way I have found that you can run it is via an emulator such as PearPC. It's time to come clean and tell us how you did it or tell us that you are running it via an emulator.

Well I'll bite how was it done. I would love to run osx on my ux-180p.

VNC or OSX86Project I have done both from my sony vaio sz110 with the same results.

I saw your similar post on Handtops.com. The Parallels part is obvious. I like the other suggestion of PearPC, but we all know that was a bit of a sham. I'm thinking you're running XP natively with VMWare Server 1.0, then running MacOS X inside of it at full screen, though I can't imagine the XP instance inside of Parallels being too responsive in that case.

My only thought is that since the UX is Vista capable, that it has the EFI boot loader which would make running OS X easy enough... the only issue is that I don't believe XP has native EFI support.

In any case, it was fun to post, but if you're truly running OS X natively, I think we'd all like to know how. Then again, I don't think you are... simply because you mentioned the pen working in the Handtops post. I think you'd likely have some major driver issues with OS X natively which makes me inclined to think you're running XP natively (to get the pen support) and an emulator at full screen to run OS X (this way all h/w works as it can use the underlying OS to access all the h/w). But as already mentioned, if you're then running Parallels and another copy of XP, it can't be moving that fast at 1.2Ghz and 512Mb of RAM on a 4200rpm drive.

JN.... You're right about Virtual environment, but it looks to me like the Mac OS is running natively with XP in the virtual window (ie. Parallels)

PearPC

Looks like some form of Virtual runtime environment. From what I have read thusfar, the virtual environments work pretty decently. Albeit, running an OS in a virtual window won't be as fast as running it natively (ie. dual boot) but for non-demanding tasks, it is just fine.
