Is there any benefit to installing this driver on an nforce4 system? Also can someone more clearly explain what this driver does?
Thanks

[Zappadoc]

I made this driver for ATI / NVIDIA P ATA controlers (not SATA) with support of UDMA 6.

supported controler:
- NVidia nForceX, MCP51, CK8S
- ATI SBXXX series

I you ever make a new DVD patch, would it be possible to include this in the essentials.pkg and extensions.mkext so that it can be installed natively on ATI chipsets?

Tx

[Zappadoc]

OF COURSE !!!!! it would be possible AND it's RECOMMENDED
Peace!

[myzar]

I've a ppf patch already but i'm leeching stuff atm and i've only 25k upstream, i'll prolly upload it to the bay saturday or sunday

[myzar]

Ok i've uploaded the ppf to silos.ru it's for the iso on the bay , if you want to test it pm me

[Mixed]

Myzar, where is that patch?! I want to try it on my Acer Ferrari 4005 WLMI laptop. I have ATI sb200 and I'm trying to install OSX natively!

[lanbo]

Hey great!

D'ya think it's possible to make a sis chipset work with UDMA with your driver, too?
I modified in the past the serverworks driver to include my device id with no luck.

I'm not really sure what you did here instead... Could you give a brief explanation, and/or upload your modified source code?

Let us know if you think it's possible to make the sis chipset work!

thks!

[mactogo]

Thanks for all your effort.  I hope we can find a way to patch the 10.4.4/5 install so that x200 owners can boot natively.  Has there already been one released? I haven't had any luck with vmware.  Or maybe we should just wait until the SB400 sound is also solved so we get a fully functioning install.  That would be perfect!

Does anyone compared this driver to the original AppleOnboardPCATA in XBench for nForce 4 ?
