SATA DVD Read/Write FIX

 

Modify the source where the function provideBusInfo :

 

IOReturn AppleNForceATA::provideBusInfo( IOATABusInfo * infoOut )

{

    DEBUG_LOG("%s::%s( %p, %p )\n", getName(), __FUNCTION__, this, infoOut);


    if ( infoOut == 0 )

    {

        DEBUG_LOG("%s: %s bad argument\n", getName(), __FUNCTION__);

        return -1;

    }


    infoOut->zeroData();


    if (fProvider->getHardwareType() == PCI_HW_SATA)

        infoOut->setSocketType( kInternalSATA );

    else

        infoOut->setSocketType( kInternalATASocket );


    /*** SATA DVD-RW FIX Start ***/

    for ( UInt32 i = 0; i < kMaxDriveCount; i++ )

    {

        if ( _devInfo[i].type == kATADeviceType )

        {

            infoOut->setPIOModes( kPIOModeMask );

            infoOut->setDMAModes( kDMAModeMask );

            infoOut->setUltraModes( kUDMAModeMask );

        }

        else

        {

            infoOut->setPIOModes( kPIOModeMask );

        }

    }

    /*** SATA DVD-RW FIX END ***/


    infoOut->setExtendedLBA( true );

    infoOut->setMaxBlocksExtended( 0x0800 );  // 2048 sectors for ext LBA

    //infoOut->setMaxBlocksExtended( 0x1000 ); // 4096 sectors for ext LBA


    UInt8 units = 0;

    if ( _devInfo[0].type != kUnknownATADeviceType ) units++;

    if ( _devInfo[1].type != kUnknownATADeviceType ) units++;

    infoOut->setUnits( units );


    return kATANoErr;

}

Let ATAPI device Settings PIO Mode Only (Not USE DMA or UDMA Mode)

 

This may be the nVidia chip problem.

ATAPI device does not support DMA Mode.

If ATAPI device Settings DMA mode. DVD Read/Write Fail.
