Apple G3 iMac booted in Target Mode Target Disk Mode (sometimes referred to as TDM or Target Mode ) is a boot mode unique to Macintosh computers. When a Mac that supports Target Disk Mode [ 1 ] is started with the 'T' key held down, its operating system does not boot.
For iPhones, iPads and Apple silicon-based Macs, the boot process starts by running the device's boot ROM. On iPhones and iPads with A9 or earlier A-series processors, the boot ROM loads the Low-Level Bootloader ( LLB ), which is the stage 1 bootloader and loads iBoot; on Macs and devices with A10 or later processors, the boot ROM loads iBoot.
The technology used is similar to ARM's TrustZone/SecurCore but contains proprietary code for Apple KF cores in general and SEP specifically. It is also responsible for generating the UID key on A9 or newer chips that protects user data at rest. [citation needed] It has its own secure boot process to ensure that it is completely secure.
Those Macintoshes include a ROM chip varying in sizes up to 4 megabytes (MB), [8] which contains both the computer code to boot the computer and to run the Mac OS operating system. The ROM-resident portion of the Mac OS is the Macintosh Toolbox and the boot-ROM part of that ROM was retroactively named Old World ROM upon the release of the New ...
Macs made from 1984 to 1998 used Old World ROM as the boot loader for all Macs produced around that time period. From 1998 up until the PowerPC to Intel transition, New World ROM was used for all Macs starting with the first iMac and later expanding to the first iBook and the Blue and White Power Mac G3.
