Double MINIs: Two little HP Beauties!

Double MINIs: Two little HP Beauties!

EliteMini running on Catalina 10.15.6 (similar for ProMini)

I have always been interested in SFF builds, but to get something close to MacMini (or even better) is a dream come true! And it's a double treat! Got both these devices on eBay for a total of about $400 and they are perfect! Maybe a few years later I'll look for more recent hardware with similar build styles!

EliteMini (HP Elite Slice g1)

ProMini (HP ProDesk 600 g2 Mini)

CPU: Intel Core i5 6500T GPU: Intel HD Graphics 530 RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) Motherboard model: Q170 (HP) Audio Codec: 3 (Conexant CX2072) Ethernet Card: Intel I219LM Gigabit Ethernet Controller Wifi/BT Card: Ordered a BCM94360CS2 with m.2 key adapter.

What part I got an issue with: Most difficult was to get to boot to Catalina. I tried with both OpenCore and Clover but neither booted. Using OpenCore even caused a weird mobo RTC failure which went away when switched to Clover. Then I found an SKL+ DSDT patch mentioned in Olarila's guide, which solved the Catalina boot issue with Clover (only took the DSDT patch, nothing else). AppleALC worked partially and only for the built in speaker. VooDooHDA enables all audio out (buit-in, headphone, DP, HDMI).

What files/config I am using: Vanilla config with Clover, Kexts: IntelMausi, Lilu, USBInjectAll, VirtualSMC, WHateverGreen, VooDooHDA (and no other kexts!).

Extra Info: I still haven't figured out the Sleep issue. Tried Hackintosher's sleep fix guide but did not work. Still trying to fix on both the machines. Any suggestion or help would be highly appreciated!
