Working on the implementation of the Asus XG-C100C 10 Gbit Ethernet card as per section 8.2.1:

Could someone please help me with an idea how to create a 10.13.3 fresh USB installation media? I need to passively flash the card for OSX use, but I have no idea where to obtain 10.13.x for the procedure.

Next question: Do I need to install 10.13. and then install all updates until I hit 10.13.3 release?

@kgp: It came to my attention that in the distributed EFI folder the hex values for the kext patch for the Asus card are different than the ones in text section of 8.2.1 -- which values would you recommend?

Cheers!

hi kgp, it is possible to adapt your SSDT-X299-ARPT (Airport implementation) for the M2 NgFF port (replaced Asus wifi card for original Airport with adaptor).
This M2 NgFF is adressed as PCI0.RP03.PXSX

Thx a lot
Edit: Ok, very easy with your post How to build your own iMac Pro [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

Just curious which card and adapter did you use to replace the onboard WiFi? The ones I’ve seen are too long so you have keep the cover surrounding the IO off.

BCM94352Z DW1560 will serve you well and fit in the NGFF slot, but you have to take off the shroud and put it back together.

Nowadays I use OSXWifi card because I was having some issues with interference with Bluetooth headphones, which has never been resolved fully.

Check this older post in this thread.
 
I've been able to run my setup for awhile now and everything seems to run perfectly. I am able to use ProTools without a lot of plugins but the moment I open a show with a lot of plugins my computer crashes. Would anyone be able to help by looking at this kernel panic?

Yeah I don’t use new versions of Adobe in production environment unless it’s like 6 months in with bug patches. I might install it on the side to check performance though.

Honestly if you’re full time Premiere Windows is better for you since you can use Cuda without problems.

There’s a freezing bug in macos and exporting with AME and Premiere just that issue alone is enough not to use it.

Cuda runs better than metal and opencl by miles.

FCPX runs like butter but no one I know uses it.

I'm not full-time Premiere. I mostly use Resolve. But most of my clients request ProRes, so that's keeps me in MacOS for now. And I prefer the MacOS OS over Windows by far. I just hope Apple and Nvidia and work things out or at least Nvidia can get the drivers out. Or if AMD could make better GPUs that perform as well as Nvidia...

I have not experienced any export bugs with Premiere Pro or AME. And that's with CUDA, OpenCL, or Metal. Seems to all work fine for me.

I do like the FCPX style of editing sometimes (particularly the magnetic timeline), but other things about it make me feel I'm restricted.

Which version of pro tools are you running? I'm running 2018.10 with ridiculous amounts of plugins, no problem.

Thanks I’ve looked into the dw1560 but was just curious. I’m happy with my bcm943602cdp
 
You can looking for 802.11AC BCM94360CS2 Airport WiFi 867Mbps WLAN Card Bluetooth 4.0+NGFF M.2 Adapter+Antennas in Alliexpress.
And remove protector white plastic. It work OOB (Continuity / handoff), simply ajust PCI0.RP03.PXSX for listing in PCI if you want.
