Haemm0ron Ventoy: A new bootable USB solution

I have a late 2007 MBP too (superdrive removed) and was never able to boot and install an OS straight from USB(tried refit and refind too) , be it clonezilla, Win 7 32/64Bit; only OS X works via USB. (Windows via superdrive worked flawlessly). Luckily I had an old winclone backup I could use, when I replaced the SSD last year.

Is the EFI in newer MBP still that picky?

Did you have success with this tool?

It works, however you need a non-free special client called VNC Viewer Plus [1]. Afaik it is Windows only. You can enable regular VNC protocol capabilities for AMT[2], but then you can't use the interesting stuff anymore.

Maybe some companies are interested in this as well. As I know from work, the PLC manufacturer Pilz [1] e.g. uses 68k type CPUs in some of the products.
