“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. It’s easy to use with a simple interface, although it requires you to have some UEFI knowledge.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. To conclude, UEFITool is a user-friendly tool for accessing your UEFI configurations and settings and making changes to them. In terms of the features, you’ll have access to some nice UEFI tools. And when you’re done editing, you can easily export the image. You may also remove the pieces you find unwanted. You can extract the data from an image and insert items into it. You’ll be able to open them and view them inside a structured interface where you’ll see their name and additional information about them. These are some of the most common and standard BIOS image types. It is compatible with many BIOS image types, such as ROM, BIN, CAP, BIO, FD, WPH, and EFI. What is more, this application offers you many nice functionalities and compatibility. Even though it’s not very visually appealing, you’ll be able to use it easily. But the experience matters, and that is on a relatively high level. It has a simple design that looks somewhat simplistic. However, it’s also important to note that you’ll need to know about the configurations inside UEFI, even if the tool is simple and easy to use.īut if you already have that, then UEFITool will be a breeze. ![]() This tool is user-friendly as it has an intuitive interface allowing you to access your UEFI configurations easily. You can import the data via image files, view these configurations, and edit them if you want.Įven though UEFI editing is perceived as a job for professionals, you’ll be able to edit them with this user-friendly application that will provide you with a nice interface. With UEFITool, editing and viewing your UEFI and BIOS configurations are easy. UEFITool allows you to edit your UEFI thanks to this user-friendly interface, where you can access all of the tools inside UEFI, even if you’re a beginner.
