Thanks to everyone who contributed to this kext!

Sorry I've been away from the scene for a while. I've just moved to another city, and I'm waiting for a decent version of 10.5 (for AMD) to come along before testing this driver.

I am waiting for a Leopard version too

Tried this at my 10.5.2 (Leo4Allv2) and ATI SB450 IDE Controller, some better than before (booting takes 8-10 minutes instead of previous 30-40 minutes) but still slow.

== ADDED ==
Possibly (just suggestion) that now, being patched, the speed is ok, but HDD continuously going to sleep mode or just powered off after each operation. Not sure, but who knows.

== FINAL RESULT ==

The solution doesn't work on Asus A6Rp laptop (ATI SB450 South Bridge IDE Controller) with 10.4.10 mac.nub

== SOME UPDATE regarding ATI S450 IDE Controller ==

Distro: Leo4all, Leo4allv2 (Leopard 10.5.2)

I've made some test. Below are results

1. Using AppleGenericPCATA.kext (I've taken this kext from some tiger threads whre guys improved ATA issues):
HDD works slowly, but continuously, without gaps, pauses, only slow. Similar to inactivated DMA mode.

2. Using AppleOnboardPCATA or AppleVIAATA:
Read\write operations are fast as should be, however there are a lot of long pauses between processing data portions. That's why using both 1. and 2. produces the same result: ~3 hours installation takes, 15-30 minutes for boot, 10-15 minutes for shutdown.

Still need any help. And new idea, possibly this caused not by IDE Controller, but some other device?

nobody had sych trouble? or everybody don't care ? =)

Does this work on the SB600? I tried following the instructions, but I cannot make Leopard see my DVD RW at all . Tiger used to see it and Leopard sees it if I install it over the top of tiger but I got a Kernel Panick after rebooting when doing that.

Do I have to remove AppleGenericATA and AppleOnBoardATA from IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/, since I'm using Kalyway and it's workin well, except for IDE. My IDE/PATA drive isn't funtioning but it's recognized, SATA works fine.
