Hi Kevin,

As you know Pegasus J4 is legacy unit, so there is no further update on this.

But you  can try with below  latest driver which may work or may not for MAC OS 11.x.x:

Thank you, I give it a try.

As we all know it takes no time for something to be a legacy unit in today's world.

Hi Kevin...

How did it go with the J4 Driver and Big Sur?

I'd like to upgrade to Big Sur but don't want to lose my J4.

Let me know please.

Followup question .... April 2022.  For the Pegasus J4......

I am on Big Sur 11.6, Intel "TrashCan" MacPro (circa late 2013).  

I have repeatedly tried to install both the R4 software mentioned above....and re-install the J4 2016 software I had working on Catalina ... but to no avail.  It says it's installing it but when I check the system extensions in the system report it says it is 'not loaded' ... so until I can get it loaded the J4 drive is NOT visible on the desktop.

Has anybody else had luck with this ?

I have been watching for the permission to pop up in the Security & Privacy [General] pane - but it never does.  and I have re-booted.

I have even tried sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/PromisePegasusJ4.kext

and similarily for the R4 to force it .... so I am really wodnering if at this level of Big Sur these drivers are just not compatible.

Any suggestions ?
