Please share your experience with the above EFI and Ventura installation

I have been using it with Monterey for nearly six months now and it works quite well. I just needed to make some adjustments to make it work with my DW1560, which also works with all features (wifi, bluetooth, airdrop etc).

Last weekend I pulled the trigger to update to Ventura and it took less than 30 minutes to complete.

So I can confirm that EFI works with macOS Ventura for our motherboard.

I also am currently using DW1560 and on Big Sur and never upgraded to Monterey as there were problems regarding long boot time (as I have Samsung NVME drive) and WiFi/BT problems with DW1560. In fact I was afraid and stuck to Big Sur. But as you are using it with Ventura I will try to upgrade to Ventura directly. Can you please share your Ventura EFI.

Sure, here it goes.

As far as the slow boot problem, the only solution I found was to replace my Samsung drive with a Western Digital one. I am not sure if Ventura has the same issue as Monterey, but if you test it please let us know how it goes.
