EFI with OpenCore 1.0.1

Updated OpenCore to OC-1.0.1 with Ventura 13.7 or Sonoma 14.7. All kexts are up to date at time of release. Kexts are enabled using MinVersion and MaxVersion so the EFI should work with Ventura, Sonoma, or Sequoia (without Bluetooth).

⚠️ There are issues using FENVI and other external cards on Sonoma+. You can use OCLP to get your WiFi card working (not included in this EFI), or switch to using the internal Intel WiFi & Bluetooth.

Two config files are included (see readme for details). Choose your preferred config file and rename it to config.plist

• config-no-wifi-bt.plist - disables the internal WiFi and bluetooth
  • most similar to older Releases. Use this if you have a 3rd party PCIE WiFi/bt card installed (Fenvi or other)
• config-wifi-bt.plist - enables builtin Intel WiFi and bluetooth
  • use this if you don't have PCIE card to enable builtin Intel WiFi/bt

NOTE - SMBIOS has been changed from iMac19,1 (as of OC-0.8.3 release) to MacPro7,1. See README for details and instruction on how to keep iMac19,1 SMBIOS if you prefer it.
