Apple OS X x86 Developer Kit Install (1 dvd)

the Developer Kit install DVD for Intel-based Macintosh machines. It is part of a hardware and software kit delivered to developers who need to test and develop for future Intel-based Macs. Why does it refuse to install on any PC?

As far as we know, there are several limitations which prevent this DVD from installing on any PC other than the Developer Kit.
First, this version of Tiger appears to have been compiled for SSE+SSE2+SSE3 machines. It might be necessary to have a SSE3 supporting CPU. Secondly, the developer hardware kits feature a TPM (Trusted Plataform Module) chip. This is a TCPA/Palladium implementation that uses a Infineon 1.1 chip which will prevent certain parts of the OS from working unless authorized, efectively working in a similar way to a hardware dongle. You can see pictures of the chip in the Developer Kit here, right next to the BIOS:

These are only the limitations others have suggested - there may be more, there may be less. * Why do you release this if it doesn't work?

Because we want to let whomever is interested study and work on the files in this DVD.

Cheers and good luck!
