Hi There - Quick message to say my iMac 2011 27" now sports an Alienware 765m with vbios 3 thanks
@dosdude1 and others! this is in addition to the Broadcom wifi/bluetooth update I did earlier this month and all working perfectly so thanks very much. I'd love brightness control but beggars are not choosers and the app works fine for me at the moment! I'm still running High Sierra as had problems installing catalina (I'll come back to this in a couple of weeks when I have more time) .
Just a heads up - I tried to burn the catalina install onto usb with the patcher on my 2019 16" i9 MBP and I kept on receiving error messages saying the HFS+ format must be used after writing the first few files. I reformatted the drives (tried multiple usb's) to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) multiple times but each time this error. I used both a USB C Dock with a USB A port on it and a genuine Apple USB C > USB A cable but nothing.
I did exactly the same with my 2015 13" retina mbp (last of the good keyboard
) and exactly the same settings all wrote fine
Both were running catalina initially (10.15.1 build, prior to the apple supplimental update dropping)
I can run some screenshots and logs if needed.
Anyway, thanks for the valuable resource and time spent.
