maybe this will help? I posted the kext I used and modifications to config.plist for OC 0.8.8. I do Not have SIP disabled (I don't think)? https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/possible-to-install-ventura-on-external-ssd-to-test-injection-of-applefwaudio-kext.325457/post-2368181

I'm using OpenCore 0.8.8. If you're Not using OpenCore, then use OCAT to get that set up: Beginners Guide to using OC Auxiliary Tools App (Also known as OCAT) 0.8.8 is not the latest but I tend to Not change things when they aren't broken. Just updated to the latest Ventura update. Here's...

Never mind! I installed Ventura painlessly and then added AppleFWAudio.kext from the last Monterey update as the last kext to be injected and I can use my FireFace 400 Firewire audio interface with Ventura. Problem .. Solved!!!

I"m running Monterey and I'm only doing so because of my need for FireWire for CoreAudio. I was able to install Ventura, but wiped it and went back to Monterey when I discovered Apple ripped that out of Ventura. I'd like to test injecting the AppleFWAudio.kext from Monterey into Ventura with...

I just ran across this hack and I'm .. Excited!! I need XCODE 14.3 and I'm stuck on Monterey because of this Firewire issue. 1. does SIP need to stay disabled? There are two conflicting messages above on this? 2. I presume I'd just copy it into my OpenCore installation? I'm now running...

Probably a dumb question .. but .. could I use the Win64 version of OCAT running in a Virtual Machine to see what changes would be made when updating my OC EFI setup? In other words - for an update will OCAT look at the hardware or can I just have it look at the EFI itself and change OC, kexts...

I used to invest in semiconductor stocks with a position in Cymer .. which got .. Sold to ASML. Cymer was San Diego based and had very cool EUV lithography. ASML was traded as ASMLF (foreign) and we sold it to them lol

Well .. to be Honest .. you Do need the 'massive power' of the 1st TI calculator to land on the moon lol (amazing they pulled that off with such Low tech??) And I kind of liked B. F. Skinner's Operant Conditioning that would have used Pigeons as the guidance system for missiles!! But .. who...

It would be Nice if they were restricted to using an Abacus lol but .. Reality indicates they are resourceful and Dedicated (they went to the Moon in 2009). So .. finding a way to get into bed with them as allies makes more sense than having them as enemies (keep your friends close and your ...

I'd run 2-3 nVidia top of the line cards in a box for 3D rendering and was Not unhappy with their driver or hardware quality? Lost track of that market so I have no idea who is on top now? Don't get me Started about Intel lol - how in the World did Intel .. who Invented microprocessors...

Not to kick a dead horse lol but .. by Only have a single Video chipset vendor Apple Removed one source of competition and innovation. I kind of Like it that AMD and Intel have to Fight each other for market share. That's what Apple is doing with their M1/M2/etc. processors - and it will keep...

Apple Stopped using nVidia so the miniscule number of add on cards bought for Apple didn't make driver development worthwhile for nVidia as Macs are rather a tiny percentage of PC sales anyway. But .. Who Cares really? It's not worth continuing a discussion?

Gladly!! nVidia was the Superior technology .. but Apple for Political reasons chose the Lesser technology?? Horrible decision that negatively affected a lot of users and technology companies .. and split development dollars away from Useful purposes into supporting Two differnet video...

As Ventura is supported on 'Mac Pro models from 2019 or later' and they can use a Firewire card (and Are used heavily in music and video production) .. possibly they Should care as Removing a perfectly working protocol just makes no sense? Probably done by some 3rd rate employee from a 4th...
