Here is another success story of an old discontinued legacy system.

Running flawlessly Catalina with updates 10.5.7, everything works:

Spec:
Mobo: Asus P6X58D-E
GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX580 OC Lite
SSD: 512 Transcend 370
RAM: 20Gb
USB 3.0:NEC USB 3.0:
LAN & Sound (Crippled): Fried by lightning, replaced with HDMI Audio output & uGreen USB to LAN adaptor.
  • Everything works fine, installed using Opencore bootloader.
  • Shutdown/restart, sleep/wake perfectly working.
  • Took a while to find the correct solution for shutdown/restart but it works great after Asus shutdown patch from MaciASL.
  • NEC USB 3.0 works with latest GenericUSBXHCI.kext.
  • Marvell 88SE9123 PCIe Sata 6.0 Gb/s works with AHCIPortInjector.kext.
  • USB Map using USBToolBox.kext technique.
  • of course using properly patched SSDTs.

Note:
Tried installing Big Sur, worked fine but without NEC USB 3.0. The kext just won't work on Big Sur.
