The BCM94360CD is a genuine Apple part used in many Macintosh models, so OS X contains the driver to run natively the 802.11ac wifi that the card features. I have an equivalent PCIe card with the BCM94360CD in our CustoMac and routinely achieve a max 1,300 mbps steady connection, sometimes...

Yea!

Jithin, The restore of the clone was successful. As you correctly anticipated, reinstall of Chimera was necessary to enable boot into that drive. Thanks again for your assistance. Several questions were clarified by your help.

Yes, of course. My clones are on separate HDD's. For me this is one of the chief reasons to build a CustoMac. Because Apple no longer produces a PC with additional internal bays, it is no longer possible to buy a Mac Pro tower and add extra internal drives to assure that backups and clones can...

Hello, Jithin, Thank you for your several suggestions. Unfortunately booting with "dart=0 -f -v -x" produced similar results. One variant: the final verbose entry is "ucode: no updates in safe mode" Before I venture down the laborious road of complete reinstallation, I would like to ask...

Unfortunately this system is not using DSDT/SSDT's.

Yes, booting stops there. I've allowed the screen to "continue" there for 30+ minutes, but it never progresses further.

Thank you for this idea. boot still halts about half way with caches disabled -f Any further suggestions based on these results?

I still cannot figure out a solution to this halt. By the way the SSD checks out fine in Disk Utility > Verify Disk. Any ideas on what to try? thanks

Yosemite 10.10.4 successful install had been working fine for a week, but suddenly Boot stalls half-way during grey Apple screen with "Trace/BPT trap: 5" error Safe Mode -x produces similar halt Suggestions appreciated

Ah, I had not yet tried bluetooth in Windows. Too bad.

Another option: if you can afford a few more bucks, for only $56 total you get a complete kit including Broadcom's later card, the BCM94360: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RCKZ3SU/ I've had this card in my CustoMac for over a month now, with fine results. I've heard that the BCM94360 card has...

Look on your motherboard for available USB "header connectors," or refer to the documentation photo that shows your motherboard's component layout, slots, audio, SATA and USB connectors. The cable provided in the kit appears to require two small, squarish connectors.

This $16 kit appears to include the adapter you seek: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JBFF2W6/ I am not 100% sure, so please investigate the specs. This adapter should allow the BCM94352HMB PCI Express Mini Cards to passively connect to a 1x PCIe slot in your CustoMac. The kit also includes two...

Since you have an audio device, but are experiencing problems with it, you may want to troubleshoot from suggestions here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/143750-no-sound-realtek-alc-applehda-guide.html#post886717

Thanks, toleda. I redid the MultiBeast method (steps below), choosing Audio ID 1 for the Optional HDAEnabler. Although I had in fact run this step a few times during my troubleshooting before posting here, this time it worked. Gratefully yours, Alpha 90 ~~~~~~~~~~~ Add dsdt/HDEF, select...

Thanks immensely for this guide, toleda. 1. No audio devices appear in System Preferences>Sound regardless of ALC audio driver installed using MultiBeast 7.2.0. Z68X-UD5-B3 calls for ALC889, but a few other ALC___ drivers were attempted singly as well Currently using toleda's edited...

What brand & model HDD?

It's not your system board button battery is it? If that battery is weak or dead, CMOS settings will go wacky or back to default. When you say "without power," do you mean simply shutdown, or are you indicating "disconnected completely from AC wall power" such as by a power strip shut off...

Major decimal updates such as 10.8.4 > 10.8.5 are best done using the Combo Update, and never the App Store: 10.8.5: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1676 For those of you with Time Machine or other backups I'd recommend restoring to the stable 10.8.4 backup state by booting from your...
