Ok, here you will find the new improved ATI IPX/ATA driver.
I started from Open Darwin AppleOnBoardATA source pkg like Scousi (thanks again for this great idea my friend) but I've made a new class for ATI chipsets (AppleATIIXPATA) rather than patch the ServerWorksATA class with support 0x4349 and 0x4376 device id and also add the support of UDMA from 66 to 133 (mode 4, 5 and 6).

Ez Installation :
- uncompress the archive on the root of your harddisk
- launch Terminal with sudo -s + password
- cp /AppleOnboardATA.kext /System/Library/Extensions/
- check the permission:
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleOnBoardATA.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleOnBoardATA.kext
- remove AppleGenericATA and AppleOnBoardATA from IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/
- Remove kextcache
rm Extension.kextcache from /System/Library
- rebuild kextcache
kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/
- reboot

on standard or verbose mode you must see on the screen or on system.log someting like :
AppleATIIXPATA: ATI SB450 (CMD 0x1f0, CTR 0x3f4, IRQ 14, BM 0xf800)
or
AppleATIIXPATA: ATI ATA (CMD 0x1f0, CTR 0x3f4, IRQ 14, BM 0xf800)

Enjoy!

ps: could you tell me the device ID of SB100/SB150/SB200/SB250 chipset and confirm the SB450, thanks!

Theres a UDMA 6?

Can anyone tell speeds in xbench? with scousi driver at SB 400 i dont have as good speeds with intel, nforce mobo's etc (PATA and laptop though)

Awesome! Thanks.

I've seen recently that the SB ATI ATA is based on the Silicon Image 3112.

I haven't touched the driver since then. If we ever get the sound driver to work, we shoud do a professional installer that would do both.

A few of us are working on the sound - but the solution isn't as easy as the ATA was. (Must admit that some luck was invloved there)!

i was curious about the xbench difference between your 'improvement' as well. i am at work and can't try now but will give this a go when i return home this evening.

We need somebody with an SB450 chipset to test...

I have Acer Aspire 3022 with SB400
I did not get speed improve....

Great! this is the minimum requirement of my version
Think that you need a SB450 chipset with an ATA/6 hard drive to see some speed improvement...
Z

You won't see much of an improvement on a laptop as the drive itself is the bottlneck rather than the contoller.

I get speeds like that too and I have a 7200rpm drive (laptop, not nonetheless...)

Hi can you release the source or add the following ids:

0x00d510de 0x006510de 0x01bc10de 0x00e510de 0x005310de 0x026510de

in the nforce source code so we can have a single kexts that works on nforce/ati.

Nforce ids are hardcoded in the source code

This driver is GREAT!
I can confirm this driver works on my laptop with ATI Mobility 9100 IGP! (SB 200...as I remember)
Before loading this driver, OS X 10.4.5 is not able to identify my optical drive,
but now it does!

And the startup time is much faster!

Ok Myzar I will add this device ids on the next release...
Peace!
Z

can someone confirm that there 's only 2 ATI main ATA device Ids (i.e. 0x4376 and 0x4349).
thanks.

ok thx

Ok, guys I'm ready to compile the new ATI/NVIDIA P-ATA driver but need some info on NVIDIA Controlers, does that controler support UDMA 6:

1- NVIDIA MCP51 IDE -> 0x26510de
2- NVIDIA CK8S PATA -> 0x005310de
3- NVIDIA CK8S IDE -> 0x00e510de

??
Thanks

To Zappadoc
Thanks for driver!!!
If not to hard, please add support for ATI (if have) and nForce4 SATA controller support.

its 4379 not 4349 btw, thats the sata controllerq

No my friend the 4349 is a Dual channel P-ATA and the 4979 is a SATA. My driver focus on PATA controlers.
Thanks.
Z
ps: please go there to take the latest kext:

i have about the same score (32.60) as the quoted guys above.., how can this be, is there a way to check the current dma mode etc? > like hdparam under *nix?

Today I'll try this driver on my SB400 chipset on a 80gb maxtor PATA HDD.

Hi guys,
New here so don't shoot me for asking the wrong things.
So far I've installed about three times every time ending up with a dead disk.
I've been fidling around with the settings for this SB400 and looking to change somethings before I add it to OSX.

Was looking at the Info.plist and wondering what value to change to reflect my system.
This is the original plist:



Now the question on what to change where? Would I substitute 0x43761002 0x43491002 with 0x43761002?

Seems slightly faster, but thats just a first boot.

X-Bench Disk test Very slightly higher.. will see how it performs in the real world.

just glad my system didnt die on reboot, hehe.

hello.
i have installed this kext, step by step. all seems ok (my Mobo is MSI on RS400 chipset)
reboot and all works good....
really faster (intead udma5 i have before)
but when i reboot second time the system boot stopped with the STOP sign at the center.
try to boot with -s and saw "waiting for root device"

you are my hero, thanks! was getting like 2mb/s now getting 20+ speeds up the boot like no other, and my cd drive works now too, fantastic

on my laptop ( compaq presario M2000 series ) SB400, but the driver identified as SB450, it seems that my HDD is still very-very slow.. any help ?

fortunately, after applying this driver, it can boot .. thanks

Hi,
I'm using a RD580 chipset with the ULi 1575 southbridge and I was wondering if someone could implement the P-ATA controller into a kext file. The device id is 0x5229 and vendor ID is 10B9. I think all ATI crossfire motherboards so far are using this chipset, so it seems relevant to try to add it to this kext. Thanks a bunch.

Paul

Im also having a hard time with my Uli M1575

Ide controller is called Ali m5229 PCI Bus Master IDE-controller, and is the id given in the previous post

I have actually gotten this to work. Add 0x522910B9 to the SATA section of AppleVIAATA.kext/Contents/Info.plist and remove or rename IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleGenericPCATA.kext and it should give you full UDMA modes.

Good luck.

Thanx blacknight, i will try it and test it with xbench, see if there's a difference. I also think I really should switch to sata, but all in due time. If this works, I only need to get my ati x1900xt going and I'll have full support. Well except for that I can't Use SSE3 with my Amd 64 +4400 X2

Hi, i've been having so trouble installing this driver the steps i've been do in are:

1. cp -R /AppleOnboardPCATA.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

2. chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleOnBoardPCATA.kext

3. chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleOnBoardPCATA.kext

4. rm -R /system/library/extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleGenericPCATA.kext

5. rm -R /system/library/extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleOnBoardPCATA.kext

6. rm -f /system/library/Extensions*

7. kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

I've verfied that all the commands are completed, and when i reboot, it says "Load of /sbin/launched failed, errno 5"If someone could tell me what i'm doing wrong or write me a new install guide i would really apperciate it.

Thanks.

I had a toshiba a105-s1712 which has a SB450 ATI chipset mainboard. But I still can't install osx86 into my machine 'cause it cannot see my harddrive. (

what about ati ixp sb460?
will this driver work with it?

b.t.w.: I can't test this until i can get my SATA hd on 1002:4379 controller visible
(i can boot fine in vmware and get a kernel panic in native mode)

same thing with the new Turion X2 based notebook. With the old Turion laptop on the same chipset everything worked fine. Now the system boots only after i delete kextcache or with "-x" boot option. VERY VERY SAD.

I'd recommend installing it using vmware and using the actual hard drive instead of a simulated one. Then, after you install mac os x, then you can copy the kext and then os x will boot. Hopefully this helps you guys.

yeah, just let me know if you want more specific instructions.

I was wondering, the AppleATIIXPATA.kext also has some SATA parts in its info.plist. Would it be possible the get ati sata cards working trough that? I have an ati sata 4379 onboard chipset and I was wondering if I could get it working trought this kext by adding vendor id somewhere in this kext?

Where is the .kext? I can't found it. Can you please give me another URL to find it. Thanks, i have almost the same machine as yours.

Reply here and I might code one: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?&showtopic=40448

EDIT: This thread is almost a year old... the kext that was used was from the 10.4.4 era. I think it's time to move on.

So nobody has this working with 10.4.8?

works fine for me... in the past my dvdrom drive won't work with old kext, now with this kext my dvdrom works! And so the hard disk seems to works better

Really? Ach - I installed it and it kept saying "waiting for root device" or something.




Erm, any ideas? I could really use them!

I've tried this AND the old scousi one, neither work. Why?


Desperate here - please help!

Nobody reads this anymore?

Somebody must have experienced the same issue as me?
