Is there any support for the Realtek RTL8191SU usb/wifi and for which versions of macOS?

Thank you Mald0n, I will try to test it and write back here. Boot Rom Version is 161.0.0.0 so maybe that supports 970 plus?

the gigabyte motherboard site shows the samsung 970 plus nvme ssd to be supported by their Z390 models. Is it also supported for a mojave installation boot/os drive?

Thank you Mald0n, that makes sense because the new macmini has coffeelake 630 graphics only and it should sleep/wake ok. Meanwhile I put the cheapest nvidia GT710 (19w, quiet/fanless) and now it works fine with graphics acceleration: 2.9w in sleep, 29w at idle, 68w peak.

Thank you MaldOn. Does sleep/wake work ok with kabylake HD630 or coffeelake UHD630?

It goes to sleep ok but when I press space or power on key, the screen is black and 10 seconds later it reboots. 18D109. Could you please help?

is there a utility that shows if a dsdt or ssdt (in efi/clover/acpi/patched) has been actually loaded?

if you are referring to dsdt/ssdt extraction via Clover/F4, yes you are absolutely right. However I was referring to a ready-made dsdt patch-pack for a specific motherboard, for example GA-965P-S3 (three revisions 1.0, 1.1, 3.3). Maybe it doesn't matter?

If a user finds a "patch pack" for their motherboard, does it matter what bios version is installed *or* what motherboard revision they have, for example 1.0, 1.1, 3.3, etc? I am asking because there are differences between bios versions and motherboard revisions.

Here they are: zeg-mac-pro.zip

ioreg dump failed, retrying.... (this is Mavericks). Perhaps there is an older version of Runme.app that works in 10.9, for us who don't like flat icons that much

yes I know that you are an expert in dsdt/ssdt editing. I don't see the nvidia hdmi audio out device (only onboard audio) and when I shut down the cpu fan doesn't stop. would you like me to provide dsdt/ssdt and maybe other files for you to take a look at?

is that topic here in Olarila? by the way I am not sure I have ALC883 after all. This is the audio system in more detail: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:284b] It's working! Turns out it is ALC888, not 883, this is so weird, the mobo manufacturer website has wrong info, wow !!! applehdapatcher worked fine, installed (patched) applehda.kext, codeccommander.kext and hdaenabler.kext with Kext Utility in S/L/E and didn't edit config.plist. maybe there is a better method with dsdt/ssdt patching but I don't know how to do that.

Used applehdapatcher 1.8, chose desktop alc883 id:7 and it created a MironeAudio folder on the desktop. Edited config.plist to add dict's and audio entry. Installed patched applehda.kext to s/l/e with kext utility. still not working. have I forgotten something?

thank you for your reply, Mald0n. I will try version 1.8 (version 1.9 does not support Mavericks) and report back. Which ioreg version should I use with 10.9.5?

Could you please tell me how to activate the ALC883 (six connectors) onboard audio in Mavericks 10.9.5?

Sorry that didn't work. Found this kext: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/241-marvell-88e8056-for-mavericks-1093/ and installed it with Kext Utility. Yes the Ethernet appears to work (the port LEDs are on) but now the nVidia installation is broken. I can only boot with nv_disable=1 flag. How can I repair the nVidia installation? Could this be a problem with AppleKextExcludeList.kext? Should I try a newer Clover version? Using 3333 now.

Used an older version of Clover (3333) and made a little progress. Could you please tell me how to enable the Marvell Yukon 88E8056/88E8001 Ethernet on Mavericks and/or Mountain Lion?

Yes I was able to reach the installer with "nv_disable=1" but now I get this:

ok I enabled AHCI. Removed the HD6450 and installed an nVidia GT710. This gpu has 3 ports: vga, hdmi, dvi-d and I tried them all. The installer starts with npci=3000 (I get a KP with 2000), finds the Firewire too, but it just hangs in the attached picture What options should I select in Clover->Options->Graphics?

Are there any bios settings I should pay attention to? Trying to boot with default settings. Is that ok?

ok Mald0n, thank you for the advice. I need to borrow a DVI monitor and cable now... could you please tell me how to format a usb flashdrive and create a mave installer (with clover) manually for MBR (bios) booting?

I tried patching the Lotus framebuffer but I get this message: [agpm controller] unknown platform. I also have the DSDT.aml and SSDT-0.aml, obtained through Clover. Do you think it's worth anything taking a look at them?

yes that works (with the 9800GT) but only for vga output. not for hdmi. what can I do about the HD6450? it works ok with windows and ubuntu. I used GPU-Z to download its rom file. maybe try this with clover configurator? https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303186-how-to-modification-of-amd-fb-clover-injection/

Perhaps but I borrowed an nVidia 9800GT from a friend and it still has the same problem. Black screen, monitor off.
