More details on Apple's web site: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/06/macos-monterey-introduces-powerful-features-to-get-more-done/ On the supported platforms front, it looks like Monterey drops support for many Haswell-based iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air models with support starting at 2015 Broadwell models. But the Mac mini from Late-2014 and MacBook Pro from mid-2015 appear to remain supported and, with it, support for Haswell graphics. Probably just because these 2 models were sold until Q4 and Q3 2018. So, support starts at the following models: iMac 16,1 (Broadwell with iGPU graphics) Mac mini 7,1 (Haswell with iGPU graphics) MacBook 9,1 (Skylake with iGPU graphics) MacBook Air 7,x (Broadwell with iGPU graphics) MacBook Pro 11,4 (Haswell with iGPU graphics + Kepler dGPU) This time -and as could be expected-, support for HD4000 is definitely dropped and no Capri framebuffer is provided. We'll probably see rapidly if this can be as easily patched as per support for, say, Intel HD3000 and nVidia Tesla graphics in Mojave/Catalina. Support for nVidia Kepler remains present (Geforce + NVDA kexts still provided), so no apparent change on that front.

Whilst Sinetek's work never fully completed and only reached limited success, Cholonam recently resumed development work for the RTS525a card reader of his Dell XPS 9350. This resulted in great success in the sense that we now have a working driver for several RTS card readers, albeit with some limitations in respect of performance or supported hardware models. The driver is available off Cholonam's Github repo. Discussion on this new driver is available in continuation of Sinetek's original topic at insanelymac. We've also reported on development progress of this kext in this thread where we invite owners of Hackintosh laptops fitted with Realtek RTS card readers to feedback their own test results. Credits and thanks to Cholonam and Sinetek of course! ...
