What's the problem with USB3.0 and Sierra

[tkheard]

I missed the move to El Capitan. My fault; wasn't paying attention.

Sierra was a nightmare, but finally is working. I ended up doing a cold load to my primary disk.

I'm using Clover, which is very different, but nice.

Whether I was using Clover or Chameleon, I had to disable the USB3.0 ports in the BIOS (Yes, not EUFI yet) for the OS to load.

My USB3.0 ports worked fine under Mavericks, so what's the deal with Sierra? Can't they be configured to mimic USB2.0?

Thanks!
Tom
