Add Sata hotplug

[jozews321]

Hey. I've been testing this patch for com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort that enables hotplug capabilities for the dvd drive bay I have connected and disconnected various hard drives and stuff and it's working fine.

The patch goes in Kernel/Patch

Nice. Where did you get the HDD drive bay for the T530?

[jozews321]

You can get one by searching for a HDD caddy you have to get one that is 12.7mm so it fits in the t530

It looks like this

Thanks, I add the patch to the config. But it will ne disabled by default, since I can't test it.

Hello, can you provide guidance on how to enable it in macOS catalina.
The latest EFI currently in use, with MacOS 10.15.7 boot prompt reading failed initialization, looks forward to your help 🙏

You need to change MinKernel to 19.0.0 and see if it works in Catalina. If it doesn't, you need to look for a different patch.

Thank you.

Does it work? Because if it does, I change the patch description to Catalina+

At risk of necro-ing, I can confirm the patch seems to work with my oem Ultrabay adapter on Catalina
