Success, Sonoma 14.4. Surface Pro 4 Ebay edition. 1/3 or more post

I've been hackintoshing since clover. A while by my standards. My daily driver is a desktop with an RX660 and 4 monitors, 9th gen i7, 32gb ram, and 4TB SSD. I guess i never posted that as a success, but anyway. i'll post a few over the next couple days. my "ode to hackintoshing" as after a year or two we'll all be forced to buy apple silicon. hahah. This is part 1 because i'm most proud of this one. But par 2 will be my daily driver surface pro 7. it is amazing. snappy, functional. no USB wifi, etc. but for now...

this post, and image, is a Microsoft Surface Pro 4. 8 GB ram. 256GB SSD. Things that work:

USB WIFI: Chris 111 or whatever, but the notarized drivers, so SIP is enabled.

Type Cover keyboard: yes

Builtin Wifi and Bluetooth: no. never i guess. it's a marvell chipset. no drivers.

cameras: no. intel avstream i think. not sure even linux has these working. no for this sufrace pro 4, no for surface pro 7

Touch: YES!!!!

Battery status: yes

Audio: yes

Graphics Accel: yes

Secureboot via Grub: Funfact. yes. i got this and I don't know the EFI/BIOS password, previous owner didn't either. There are workarounds that worked.

ummm... dunno what else to say....

It's a realtek cardreader: but no couldn't get it to work, no biggie, i use the usb ones anyway.

A big thank you to the community, while i had to put hours of work in, i did start with work previous people did (and apparently stopped?) before sonoma.

But Sonoma or bust. why? it's fun for an amateur like me. SIP enabled. all of it.
