A pledge of $219 will guarantee you’ll be one of the first to own a projectQ motherboard. The team plans to continue to support the BIOS / UEFI after release and will ship with a three year warranty. The company said they have perfected the motherboard and have tested the BIOS / UEFI with developers in China, England, Romania and the US. Our unrivaled AOS motherboard comes with a 3 year warranty. The motherboard features Intel certified Thunderbolt, Intel LAN for high demand network sharing, and compatible audio in an expandable microATX form factor. QUO’s AOS motherboard is the only one in the industry with Firewire 400 and 800 (1394A and 1394B). Exclusive to QUO, the AOS motherboard provides system builders worldwide a platform specifically engineered to meet their needs. Fitted with premium components, we include custom software and UEFI that initiates the booting of an OS in under 10 seconds. A world first, the Z77MX-QUO-AOS was built from the ground up to run any OS. Quo has stunned the computing world with the release of the unparalleled AOS motherboard. The first motherboard designed to run any Operating System you choose out of the box. ProjectQ – Run Any OS: The Unique Motherboard “The first motherboard designed to run ANY Operating System of your choice out of the box.” “509 backers pledged $189,451 to help bring this project to life.” projects/quo/projectq-run-any-os-the-unique-motherboard/commentsĪ few excerpts from the kickstart page and the Google web cache of the no-longer-available web site, some excerpts: Kickstart link with space in it, so you can see the link, else WordPress just converts it to a video: news/51835-projectq-motherboard-promises-to-boot-any-os-in-under-10-seconds.html There appears to be deeper history pre-Quo, but I’m not digging that far down, I’m just curious about the OZMTool’s features… Comments on the kickstart page may indicate some fraud, I’m not sure. OZMTool appears to be last updated around 2014. Yet Rashantha appears to have logged into the Kickstart page as of last week (“Last login Aug 13 2015”). It appears to have been active starting around 2013. I’m not sure of the current status of this project. Quo Computer was created by Rashantha De Silva. Quo Computers is (was?) a kickstarted hardware project with custom BIOS (that requires OZMTool), a Tor darknet-hosted IBV, “ Hermit Crab Labs“, that builds special BIOS to use with MacOSX and other OSes. I’m not into the firmware modding community, so didn’t know most of this. Repo which holds Ozmosis binary BIOSes from Hermit Crab Labs OZMTool is a fork of UEFITool for us with Ozmosis BIOSes. See the full OSMTool readme for disclaimer. –help, -h Print usage (append command to print cmd-usage!) –dsdt2bios Injects (bigger) DSDT into AmiBoardInfo –kext2ffs Converts kext-directories to FFS –ozmcreate Patches Original BIOS with Ozmosis –ozmextract Extracts Ozmosis files (ffs) from BIOS –ozmupdate Updates clean BIOS with files from old OZM-flavoured one It includes the following useful tools to help you in this process: It is based on UEFITool (awesome application!) by CodeRush. OZMTool was created to make the process of creating an Ozmosis patched BIOS easier. For me, some of the additional features beyond UEFITool are interesting, but so far I don’t see them as being general-purpose, they require this OEM hw/fw target, so I am not sure that I can use OZMTool. In fact, if you own a Gigabyte motherboard with UEFI, sleep mode and CPU power management in Mac OS X work by default.UEFITool is useful, so I was looking into OZMTool, a fork of UEFITool, and was wondering what new features it has, what Ozmosis BIOSes were, and how I might be able to use this tool. Unlike old motherboards that use BIOS, motherboards that use UEFI don't need a DSDT file to work with Mac OS X anymore. If the screen is colorful and allows you to use your mouse cursor to navigate, it's UEFI. If the settings screen has few colors and requires you to use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate, it's BIOS. You will enter the settings for the motherboard. To check whether your ASUS motherboard uses BIOS or UEFI, press the delete key when your computer boots. All new ASUS motherboards use UEFI. Right now, this guide only covers the installation process for these new UEFI motherboards. The procedure for installing Mac OS X depends on whether your motherboard uses BIOS or UEFI. These are interfaces for managing motherboard settings. Right now, there are two different types of motherboards on the market: the ones that use BIOS, and the ones that use UEFI.
