Hello, first-timer here.
I have a pair of old Mac Pros: a 3,1 which I'm trying to retire and 4,1 flashed to a 5,1 that I'm trying to replace it with.
What I need is a dual-boot system that will run Mojave for my newer stuff as well as a classic Final Cut installation for working on old projects.
I had it initially; as my old MacVidCards GTX770 would support either environment, but it died. After buying and returning several cards on Ebay, I got this Rx580 Pulse 8GB. By reputation, this would run under the final update from Sierra, 10.12.6—but, irony of ironies, the very mod that gives me the boot screen nixes the one OS that I need access to, crashing during the boot sequence if I have that card installed.
I have my old MacPro set up, but I have a Kona LHe+ and really need to not be swapping that out on the regular. I need a single chassis.
Does anyone have any idea of the nature of the conflict or if it can be resolved? Using safe mode I can boot, but that's useless as even FCP6 required VRAM. Since older OS won't even recognize my Mojave drive I really need that boot screen.
TIA
