I already tried that. Even though I seem to have 3 USB controllers - almost everything is connected to Host 3. I juggled around with the BIOS settings - and some things changed, but without completely disabling xHCI (USB 3.0) I didn't come to a satisfying solution. I ordered the PCI USB 3.0 controller card now (knowing that the PCI Bus won't give me FULL USB 3.0 speed - but that's ok) and will try that works in OS X. If it doesn't I will have to get rid of another card to make space for a PCIe USB 3.0 card. I came to realize that having a Plug & Play USB controller has quite a few advantages and should solve my problem. Greets Schlichi

Thank you for your reply. My Problem is that I just used my last PCIe slot for this Combo Card (WiFi / BT). I only got a spare PCI (Classic) slot left. But I only found one USB3 Controller for this slot that costs 60€ and might not even work in OS X OOTB. I could also get an old PCI USB 2 Controller for a few bucks- But which one is supported by OS X? Or I could return my New Combo card - renounce Handoff/Contuinity (which doesn‘t even work yet) and get a USB 3 card and a standalone BT dongle. What would you do? Greets Schlichi

Hello you all, okay - I got it working by attaching the Bluetooth Adapter via USB Hotplug AFTER High Sierra bootet fully up. However, everytime I add it before booting the system, it gets lost. And I think I found out why... UNRAID itself is using the Bluetooth dongle - I recognized that because I could use my Apple Trackpad in the UNRAID GUI. And everytime I boot up my High Sierra VM I lose the connection for a few seconds and then it comes back. I also recognized that the adapter changes its name from "Apple Bluetooth Host Adapter" to simply "Apple". Later it becomes "Apple Bluetooth Host Adapter" again. Is there any way to tell UNRAID to NOT use the Bluetooth adapter so it's exclusively available for the VM? I think that might be a solution. Greets Schlichi

Hello you all, I need your help. I bought a ABWB 802.11 AC WiFi BCM94360CD Combo Card for my UNRAID Server to passthrough to my OS X High Sierra to get a) WiFi b) Bluetooth c) Continuity Features I managed to get the WiFi part working by simply passthrough the PCI-e card. But the Bluetooth part works via USB and even though I select the USB device for passthrough, it doesn't seem to be recognized. Other USB devices (Mouse, Keyboard) however work properly. I think it may have something to do that I use libvirt and not qemu - but I'm a newbie and I don't fully understand what I do. So please - can anybody help me?

Thank you for your reply. I updated my system to 6.4 RC21 and everything works as it should. I got macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 working with GPU passthrough (NVIDIA GT 710), iMessage/Facetime Fix and HDMI Audio working as well. Greets Schlichi

First of all - thank you gridrunner for your FANTASTIC videos. I just recently started using UNRAID and you helped me a great deal getting everything working (e.g. Windows 10 VM). Now my question: I want to create a High Sierra VM and passthrough a GPU so it can (maybe) replace my Mac Mini. But I'm currently using UNRAID 6.3.5 because I wanted to use a stable version for my system. Is it possible to install High Sierra with GPU passthrough on UNRAID 6.3.5 or is it necessary to upgrade to a 6.4 RC Version? Greets Zodac
