Hello, I've been using this build for a bit more than a year now, everything is perfect except for a recent problem which is bothering me..
The USB-C connector (ASMedia) on the motherboard works correctly if i put an USB-C hub in it and then plug some USB devices. BUT, I cannot connect a new MacBook Pro using an USB-C cable using target disk mode. The disk just won't show up, and even in IoREgistryExplorer seems like nothing happens when I try to connect the MacBook.
I'm on Mojave 10.14.6, and tried both with the USB-C cable supplied with the MacBook and with another one (USB-C, no thunderbolt).
I'm suspecting that I will need a Thunderbolt 3 cable even if the connector on the ASUS is only a USB-C, at least that's what I understand from double checking Apple website https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201462
Anyone have experience with this?
