Intel NUC Skull Canyon i7 quad core hackintoshability

[munirocks]

Cheers, I just got way too excited about this tiny beast that just came out! So I already ordered it in the hopes that it should be possible and only a matter of time to get this running 10.11.5...
I know it's very early and probably hasn't been done yet but I'd like to get this started.
So has anyone else ordered it and maybe already tried running unibeast or something on it?
I wonder if by any chance it would just work? Unlikely, I know. But I see a few people already got the other NUCs working, so maybe it works the same as those?
Would be great to hear of any experiences and developments! Thanks!

got mine working, everything seems fine so far. tricky though as there seems to be an issue with the memory map similar to the one some x99 users were reporting, i could only boot with modified osxaptiofix.

Great news! Any hint what exactly was the modification to osxaptiofix?
And what did you do to get WIFI and BT working? Or did you buy USB dongles as suggested below?

Hello, Since the Intel WiFi module is soldered on to the motherboard and there is no expansion for a Wifi card.

This might be a good alternative. You will probably need to purchase a USB hub anyways.

That Edimax card seems to be very good. I would much prefer to get the internal WIFI working, though. Have people done that with the other NUCs?

EDIT: I got that Edimax card and it works very well. So thanks for the tip.
There's something wrong with the website today. I can't seem to reply anywhere even though I'm logged in. Tried different browsers and devices, same thing. Very annoying. It just says "you have insufficient privileges to reply here". What the heck is that? So the only thing I can do for now is to edit existing posts. Very annoying. I hope it'll be fixed quickly.
