A Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard installation disc or Mac OS X Disc 1 included with Macs that have Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard preinstalled; this disc is needed for installation of Windows drivers for Mac hardware; 10 GB free hard disk space (16 GB is recommended for Windows 7)
Hardware vendors usually supply the drivers for Windows, Linux and Mac OS but due to the high development or porting costs and technical support difficulties they are unable to provide drivers on all platforms. An automated synthesis technique can help the vendors in providing drivers to support any devices on any operating system.
Remote Install Mac OS X was released as part of Mac OS X 10.5.2 on February 12, 2008. Support for the Mac mini was added in March 2009, allowing the DVD drive to be replaced with a second hard drive. With the launch of Mac OS X Lion, Apple has omitted Remote Install. [123] [124] A workaround is to enable Target Disk Mode.
The BIOS checks each device in order to see if it is bootable by attempting to load the first sector (boot sector). If the sector cannot be read, the BIOS proceeds to the next device. If the sector cannot be read, the BIOS proceeds to the next device.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an open standard that operating systems can use to discover and configure computer hardware components, to perform power management (e.g. putting unused hardware components to sleep), auto configuration (e.g. Plug and Play and hot swapping), and status monitoring.
There are synchronous and asynchronous timing requirements, depending on the state of the DRAM device. Essentially, the On-Die Termination (ODT) is turned on just before the data transfer and then shut off immediately after. If there is more than one DRAM device loaded on the channel, either the active or inactive DRAM can terminate the signal.
To this end, MS-DOS was designed with a modular structure with internal device drivers (the DOS BIOS), minimally for primary disk drives and the console, integrated with the kernel and loaded by the boot loader, and installable device drivers for other devices loaded and integrated at boot time.
Device drivers are either integrated directly with the kernel or added as modules that are loaded while the system is running. [ 94 ] The GNU userland is a key part of most systems based on the Linux kernel, with Android being the notable exception.
