I'm looking to build a new Hackintosh around a Skylake CPU (probably the 6500 or 6600K CPU). I have an existing PCI firewire card which has worked well in my old hackitosh - it's based on a TI chipset and has worked flawlessly on my old hackintosh with my FW audio interface and logic, so i'd like to retain it if possible and avoid various thunderbolt and thunderbolt to firewire adapters.
I've found a few motherboards based on the Z170 chipset that have a PCI slot that I could make use of - is there any reason that this wouldn't work in OSX El Capitan (or the forthcoming Sierra)? My current mackintosh is OSX 10.6 so quite old.
Alternatively are there any PCIe Firewire cards based on the TI chipset that people have used and recommend?
