Intrigeri,
ok - so I got a different error message on the mac from the new .img file -
see attached screenshots showing the error and my system. On the PC Etcher
worked and still boots in secure mode. Also once the disk is flashed it
boots the mac ok, but doesn't recognize the trackpad or keyboard so I just
use a use mouse/keyboard... works fine. Also I've subscribed to the
testers list... thanks for the invite.

Regards,

Jeff Jones
