10.8.3 + UniBeast 1.7.0 = Too Soon?
I think I learned an important lesson here: When building your UniBeast key, don't be Web surfing or generally mucking about on the same machine while UniBeast is running in the background.
On my Recording Studio 2.0 build that I was also using as my test subject, I plugged my regular/working SSD drive back in, downloaded the new 10.8.3 installer on this machine, then downloaded UniBeast here as well. Rebuilt my UB install key.
Unplugged all my HDs (including my normal boot SSD) and plugged my spare once-again-unformatted SSD back in and retried the install:
--I didn't remove either of my FW cards
--I didn't remove my AVID Pro Tools|HD Native card, either
Initial install, followed by OSX setup wizard, followed by running MultiBeast ML 5.2.1, followed by Chimera 2.0.1, and PRESTO!!! All phases of the setup went PERFECTLY!
Oh, and by chance if the guy who says that installing 10.8.3 broke his Syba FW card is reading, that was not my experience. Behold:
(Syba is highlighted - the other FW instance is my Belkin FW400 card)
I must admit, the 2 glasses of Sangria I had prior to starting this little project MAY have also contributed to my failure the first go-round...
P.S.: iMessage works!!!!!!!
