OK. Thanks. I'm a little intimidated by all the new stuff but am going to give this a try. Sorry for being so pedestrian about this. Want to try and get everything right.
As I have a 100 series board I assume I need to put this into Clover to increase my port limit:
Comment: change 15 port limit to 26 in AppleUSBXHCIPCI
Name: AppleUSBXHCIPCI
Find: <83bd8cfe ffff10>
Replace: <83bd8cfe ffff1b>
Do I need to know the exact number of my ports prior and would the above patch need to be altered? Also does this patch mean I don't need to increase the port limits via Multibeast? I'm assuming the Multibeast check box for increasing port limits is a generic and may or may not be right for my MOBO. Is that right?
I'm not sure if my port limit is 26 or less. In my MOBO manual it says:
Chipset+Intel Thunderbolt 3:
2x USB Type-C , with USB 3.1 support
Chipset:
8 x USB 3.0/2.0 ports (4 on back panel and 4 through internal USB headers)
5 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports (4 on back panel and 1 internal USB header)
Chipset+GENESUS LOGIC USB 2.0 Hub:
3 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports through internal USB Headers)
That makes for a total of 18 but maybe more are allowed via a hub? I guess I'll find out my total number of ports when I actually install the USBInjectAll.kext?
Do I make the above changes prior to installing the USBInjectAll.kext or does it not matter which order I do these?
As I have a 100 series board I note from the README that:
"If you have more than 15 ports on XHC, you should use FakePCIID_XHCIMux to route the USB2 component of those USB3 ports to EHCI. It is easy to stay under the limit if up to 8-USB2 ports are routed off XHC."
"Currently, this kext does not support the latest 100 series boards. It would be easy to add."
I'm not sure what that means and exactly what I need to add given that I have a 100 series. Is this another patch to do under kexts and patches in Clover?
OK thats enough for now and thanks for your patience.
