Hello!
cause of my old Motherboard i am still on Catalina (latest plus latest security fixes)
i am still quite happy with it, even if it‘s getting old. Updating to Big Sur is no option cause of components which wouldn’t work anymore.
To my problem:
I have a asmedia 1142 USB-C PCIe Card which worked really good over the last years out-of-the-box with unpatched USB kexts or additional kexts.
I recently bought a 5bay USB-C Drivecase Vendor Icy-Box which offers five independent slots for sata drives (IB-3805-C31)
Problem is, that Catalina only recognises the one at the case bottom, all the other 4 slots above are not.
It must be some Catalina issue, as the case is supposed to work with macOS and it does work normal when i boot a gparted-live-linux. All drives are recognised under Linux.
Has anyone a idea if there is a patch for that or which kext i have a closer look?
dmesg shows NOTHING when i switch on one of the other drives, there are no error messages or whatsoever. MacOS ignores the other four driveslots completely.
Thanks for any hints, Dominique
