Genesys Logic should be avoided at all costs.
I've never seen a Genesys Logic chipset work under any OS; Windows, Linux or
Mac.
I've had three Genesys chipset enclosures, which I wouldn't even sell because
it would be immoral to sell something that doesn't work. Instead, I
disassembled them and sent the parts off to the recycler. It seems rare to find
any enclosure that still uses Genesys Logic chips now, so I think they've
pretty much killed off their business with bad product.
Is it practical to try and replace the chipset in my enclosures? If so how is
this done? I really like the boxes.

Replacing the chipset is some serious work. Most chipsets I know of are
surface-mount soldered to the mobo.
