Incredible job! Just went through the bash script and saw the wonderful job you did making it as easy as possible on patching and uninstalling if anything goes wrong!
Keep up the good work 👏

Nice job dude! Glad we could figure this out so quickly and provide a working solution for all TB2 users out there. I will also try using the script tonight and let you know the outcome.
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.

Thank you for that hint in our private discussion. Was an eye-opener of sorts. 🙌

OMG! Will this work with hot plug feature too? I'm looking forward to try it in a few hours. Great work. Thank you!

Native eGPU support as if its a TB3 mac. Should not be a problem as far as I can tell in my tests. Macs with NVIDIA dGPUs still require my other patch to get things going.
