I have not tested Sil0680, but Via6421 works in Lion without modification.

[geigi]

Thanks I will try it.

Hi.
Today I downloaded your ApplePciIde driver, but I noticed that is compiled for intel processors.
Since I have to install a VIA VT6421A card in a G4 Powermac, is there any way to compile the driver for osx 10.5 PowerPC?
Thank you.
Best regards

Federico

Get the source from osx86drivers.sourceforge.net using subversion, and modify its xcode project as needed.
I have never tried ppc build.

Hi!
Any chance for Marvell 88SE6111 ?

Unfortunately, I don't have any hardware using the chip, so it's practically impossible to develop a driver.

Is it possible to get a version for 10.4.11? I want to install it on a Power Mac G4, but I'm running a MacBook Air with 10.6 as my primary machine, so I can't build a 10.4 PowerPC distribution.

I have just uploaded 10.5 build.
merry christmas!

I am trying to build on PowerMAC G4 running osx 10.5.8  I use Xcode V3.  Few attempts, following the APPLE manuals, build is success ..... but when trying to use load kext the message is ApplePCIIDE.kext does not contain code for this architecture. When looking at target.info, which was modified, VAILD_ARCHS ppc, GCC_MODEL_TUNING G4, and ???? just can not remember .....  There are no kextutil, but found on the net that it comes with 10.6 OSX.
Could you please advise what parameters to be modified to get build on OSX 10.5.8 G4 ??? I think started going the loop by now ..... can not see trees in the forest.

Kind regards    Kris

I chose the build target as "Release_Leo" on Xcode 3.2.6, then added "ppc" to "ARCH" parameter and could start building for ppc, but could not compile as there are some undefined symbols in ppc architecture ( IODTAIOReg8, IOATAIOReg32 ) . You must modify the code to support ppc hardware.

You can optionally install 10.4u SDK with Xcode 3.2.6, though you must modify the code.

Sorry for dragging on - it was a while ago now, and I was very busy with my telescope controller.
1. Modify or
#define IOATAIOReg32    .... as what ??????
#define IOATAIOReg8      ..... as what ?????

Is this the only mod required ??? I am not familiar with APPLE ideas of programming, simply not ISO compatible, nor GNUcc.

Sorry for being a bit ignorant but APPLE ideas for me are murky like waters in the pond.

Thank you for driver.
Siliconimage 0680 ata works fine in Lion except after wake there's error message"IOATA  Controller device
blocking bus".
4hds are connected in master/slave mode.
ide bios 3.4

more test
I have os x in jmicronata and windows xp in silicon 0680, In case like this , You should connect Windows as master mode in primary channel, if not , even latest chameleons can not boot with ebios error 0x42.

Sory, I have not checked this thread for long.
You can find sample souces at Darwin ATA project - http://code.google.com/p/darwin-ata/
I found some ppc specific code there, but never used them.

Hi there,
Seems to work for everybody but me. I am on Dell Inspiron 545 running 10.6.6. System profiler does not show any PCI cards, eSATA drive is not recognized and the kext was loaded with Kext Utility in the System/Library/Extensions folder.

[hnak]

Did you insert a card with one of the supported chips ?

[SnoopKatt]

Thank you! This works flawlessly in Lion.

Here is the card I'm using:

The card seems to be right - VIA VT6421. Since this happened, I got a SATA (from the internal SATA port of the card) to eSATA cable and now the eSATA drive is working fine. It is not available for booting at the Chameleon splash window (as when the external HDD is connected with USB cable), but that is OK. So, the problem appears to be the eSATA port on the card itself, as it is not working under Windows XP as well.
Anyway, thanks for the help and for developing the kext!

[emig647]

FYI, this worked for me for a SYBA SD-SATA-4P with a blu-ray drive on port 0. Thank you!!!!

[maleorderbride]

I installed this on a 10.7.4 build and I do not see any extra drivers or entries under System Profiler.

I am using a rosewill (re-branded Sil3114) controller.  

Does this work on Lion for anyone else?

[SnoopKatt]

I use this card on Lion: http://www.amazon.co...ywords=via 6421

With the kext, it works flawlessly.

hello, my hackintosh finally recognized my ide dvd-rom after installing applepciide.kext so many thanks for this!
But  there's another issue: i can write cds without a problem but when it comes to dvds when it starts writing for ex. an .dmg the light of the drive starts blinking for about 3-4 secs and then it stops and the procedure 'freezes' at 0%. (I ve been waiting for over half an hour)
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
