This motherboard is unfortunately not very common here. Since I still had a fully functional computer sitting around, I finally wanted to try building a Hackintosh out of it.
With the excellent tips from "Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide" and some research in the relevant forums (credit: @kostrovoy), I created an OpenCore EFI folder and installed Catalina. The good piece runs as MacPro6,1
Hardware:
Works:
* A flashed Gigabyte Thunderbolt card even helps the Granny to two TB3 ports. Unfortunately, however, no HotPlug works so far even with a corresponding SSDT. To run two UAD Apollo interfaces and one UAD Satellite, you have to reboot the hack, with the devices connected and powered on, three times.
** The USB3 ports on the board only work as USB2, unless on a cold boot, then they have full USB3 bandwidth. Same behavior as the USB controller on the TB card.
*** I disabled Bluetooth in the BIOS because the onboard controller is not recognized at all.
