I'm not sure how this addresses my concern. Uh, rant. Lament. If this is an OS problem, then a Hackintosh system would not solve it. If this is a driver problem, then perhaps Clover will work, but maybe not. (When I build a machine, I would use Windows or Linux, so—for me—Hackintosh is not a solution.)
I like working with USB gadgets on the Mac, but if "Works with Catalina" has to become a de facto standard for USB, then Apple is going to lose a market. A virtual Windows machine is of no help here. Oh, and I said AdaFruit has a fix for Feather boards. It doesn't work for me. This also means my advice to use virtual machines for Windows is flawed. Maybe this is Apple's way of saying I should get a new Mac, but I hear even some new Macs have the problem. > On Oct 14, 2019, at 2:10 PM, Erik Beugelaar via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > That is why I rely for the last 10 years on myself built Hackintosh systems. > They run faster for less money and they are modular and easy to upgrade. > With the introduction of Clover it has never been a problem to use hardware > components (especially graphic cards, wifi/bt cards, sound cards etc.) which > were not supported by Apple anymore. > > On 14/10/2019, 21:58, "use-livecode on behalf of Dar Scott Consulting via > use-livecode" <use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com on behalf of > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Catalina does not recognize the bootloader for atmega32u4 Arduino boards > such as Leonardo.
