DSDT patch requests

Rod replied to oldnapalm's topic in DSDT & Patch Requests

Send me Bob7NTYs-iMac.station.zipThx for those very interesting distroes. The send file comes from a Q1900-ITX 8gb ram equipped -via an adaptor 1to16- with a GT210 1GB PCI-E graphics . Even if Celerons j1900 BayTrail shouldn't work (according tonycrap, ecc.) , actually Olarila does (better Sierra than HighSierra) . At the moment just in safe mode (GT210 is a bit old, maybe some boot settings...). Thanks again!
