So do you think they are running OpenCore ?

So do you think they are running OpenCore ?

Absolutely not.

 

[sfalatko]

Absolutely not.

I did ask that tongue in cheek...knowing the answer was NO.

 

[JeffPerrin]

Lol. Knowing how commercial facilities roll, that 5,1 is probably still running MacOS Lion. 😂

that 5,1 is probably still running MacOS Lion.

That's assuming it's not actually a 1,1

I was watching the video and under the rows of 7,1 rack-mounts, they appear to have just as many - if not twice the amount - of cheesegrater units. I would hazard a guess they are the most recent 5,1 model since the 6,1 would have been a nightmare to integrate due to lack of PCIe (among the 6,1's many other limiting factors).
