[geeks] The EFIX dongle

[Jonathan Groll]

Recent news announcements seem to indicate the imminent release of the
EFIX dongle. It apparently is a USB dongle that allows the
installation of OS X from retail media onto non-Apple hardware:

How would such a dongle work on a technical level? There is much
debate here in the office, but none of us really know much about
EFI. Does this have to be implemented as hardware, and how would it
work on a PC with a regular BIOS?

Cheers,
