USB Device -> VH Server (Linux) -> VH Client (Linux) -> Mac OS

With the kext issues in Big Sur for the HV Client, would it be possible to have add a VH Client to Raspberry PI and then connect the Pi to the Mac via a USB Cable?

Instead of running VH client on MacOS you run it on some other device which connects via USB cable to a Max.

Yes in theory ,and i thought about that too .

Ive experimented with it and it does work ok for a high speed disk device

However the pi4 USB DEVICE port is fixed at high speed.

Whereas a USB device can be one of 4 speeds low,full,high,super. So that why i didnt pursue this further for the time being.

E.g this is me asking https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=280735

The beaglebone can switch speeds but it requires a reboot and so wasnt practical

I did hear from Apple recently there might be a fix in OSX 11 at some point for virtualhere client

Also today i picked up a new apple Silicon Mac Mini for some testing of the OSX VirtualHere Server, and ill be ready for testing the virtualhere client on it when its possible

That'a somewhat good news. Let's hope 11 provides the support as that works for everyone, not just my special case!

Sounds like Im out of luck. The device I'm attaching is full speed (it reports as "Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec."). Would a PI3+ change that?
