Much better, Maldon, thank you very much! Yes, I have 2 E5420's, and 1 is running 10.12.. thought I'd try this, and for the present time, it's running pretty well, with your patching. I have 1 question.. why does my keyboard not work when the Clover bootloader GUI comes up... I have to plug in an external keyboard to control any of the parameters. Thanks again.
