I'm a bedroom musician, and wanted access to a Mac on said musician's budget.

Shiny! I've been holding off on the UD5 board to see what Apple announces. Interested to hear the results.

New skin looks great on my Android.

Good news indeed. I'll install and report on my X99 system soon.

Though it took a while (about 75 minutes), the upgrade was painless and did not damage Chimera. After a few tweaks (ClassicShell, fixing my default apps, etc), it's quite usable for Windows.

Macintosh LC II with System 7.0.1 was my first mac... but after my Quadra 650 with system 7.5.3 I moved on until Leopard.

Yes, I have the same issue. If I have the box connected when I boot, the system will hang as it switches to GUI until I disconnect the firewire cable. Also, I have to connect to port #2 on my box. This is not an issue when I connect to a Windows machine.

Hopefuly Apple will speedbump their systems to include x99 chipset support.

I haven't had a chance to do any high-pressure recording, but my Presonus FP10, although no longer supported in OS 10.8 and above, seems to be working well in Yosimite on my X99 system using the StarTech PCI-X firewire card...

Works! After changing this setting and updating my SMBIOS to iMac13,1 my Firewire adapter shows up in DPCImanager, just not as a Thunderbolt device.

I received my hardware, and based on your posts and the temporary installation guide I am now up and running. I'm experimenting with the Thunderbolt II expansion card, but haven't had any success yet. The real world keeps getting in the way of my tests.

I considered the MOTU hardware. It has a good reputation. I currently own a Presonus FP10 and it has served me better than my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8r (my first, which fell apart quickly). My main reason for considering the Presonus hardware is the option to chain multiple boxes. I need at...

Very nice. I'm building using the same motherboard and cpu in the next few weeks. I've been following the X99 threads but it's good to see a success story with all the links in one spot.

I'll post my results in a couple weeks when I buy the hardware.

Has anyone verified this card works? I'm buying an X99 system shortly and need working Thunderbolt for a music rig.

Awesome. My next build is going to be specifically for a portable recording/performance rig. I'm waiting to see if the X99 chipset will be a viable option before I build. I'm planning on using the PreSonus Firestudio Project (http://www.presonus.com/products/FireStudio-Project) as my...
