Hi guys,

Here is the AppleATIATA-6 I have revised. It is based on AppleVIAATA-6 and AppleOnboardPCATA-2 source code. It supports ATI pata/sata chipsets. I have tested it on the Acer Extensa 4420-5239 (with SB600) and Toshiba Satellite U405D (with SB700). Both PATA and SATA devices are working.

In addition, AppleVIAATA and AppleOnboardPCATA should be removed or at least ATI ID inside of it to avoid conflicts. If your devices are on the following list, you can give it a try.

Chun-Nan

P.S. I have not tested this driver under Tiger, but it should work.

/*
* Supported devices.
*/
#define ATA_ATI_ID 0x1002
#define ATA_ATI_IXP200 0x43491002
#define ATA_ATI_IXP300 0x43691002
#define ATA_ATI_IXP300_S1 0x436e1002
#define ATA_ATI_IXP400 0x43761002
#define ATA_ATI_IXP400_S1 0x43791002
#define ATA_ATI_IXP400_S2 0x437a1002
#define ATA_ATI_IXP600 0x438c1002
#define ATA_ATI_IXP600_S1 0x43801002
#define ATA_ATI_IXP700 0x439c1002
#define ATA_ATI_IXP700_S1 0x43901002

[KNOWN ISSUES]
1. PATA devices may not show up on some machines. Still looking for the reason and solution.
