Ok here it is. Tested on ATI SB200, SB400 and SB450 controler (don't have nForce or such here, sorry).

ps: log on this stuff can be found here :
http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=13197&hl=

ps2: stritcly based on Open Darwin Source...

EDIT: download the rev.2 below

Works fine on nforce3 thx

Ok, here the rev. 2 of the driver, this one start with udma 6 on last 3 supported (supposed ) NVIDIA ATA controlers instead of udma5...
Cheers!
Z

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

I made this driver for ATI / NVIDIA P ATA controlers (not SATA) with support of UDMA 6.
Z
supported controler:
- NVidia nForceX, MCP51, CK8S
- ATI SBXXX series

Nice i can feel the difference with udma6 enabled it's definitively faster good work

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

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

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

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

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!

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!

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 ?

I have a Nforce3 chipset, how do I install this?

hi, im andy, this is my first post ^^, i have installed the driver.
but there is a problem :

extension "com.apple.driver.AppleOnboardPCATA" has no kernel dependency

17AppleOnboardPCATA is not compatible with its superclass, 8IOPCIATA superclass changed?

failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleOnboardPCATA.

i cannot boot the harddrive. thx before ^^

you have v. 10.4.1. kexts are incompatible.

thx fireshark, how can i fix it, so i can boot again.
what version can i use?
where can i download the AppleGenericPCATA and AppleOnBoardPCATA,
becaus i have delted. tq ^^

Reinstall. And use 10.4.5 this time.

is it better to use 10.4.5 or 10.4.6, thx again fireshark ^^

I have run into problems with the 10.4.6 install for whatever reason. I suppose 10.4.6 is good for you

Hello MacGirl!

Id like to ask you how you did realize SSE3 on dualcore Opteron?...I have here a Opteron 170, and I would to use it with SSE3, but the functional disk which I have, has kernel which has no support for SSE3 on dualcore. Thank you in advance for help.

I don't even have a clue, but it appears that SSE3 kernels does not work on AMD's Dual Cores, I can only get a SSE3 Kernel work in VMware, at least with 10.4.4, .5 and .6 because it worked fine with 10.4.3

Are there any plans to create a driver for SATA drives for motherboards with an ATI chipset, or does anyone know of any out there?

How install this driver? I have followed this explanation
http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=13197&hl=

but with the driver that i can find on this thread v2 think.

BUT NOW MY OS CANNOT BOOT .

Ihave 10.4.5myzar.

My hdd is a ata 40gb and when i have tried Xbench my hdd have very very poor performance (3.000 kb/S) !!!

I am reinstalling mac osx now. But how install now for a working os?

Edit: My motherboard is Asus P5nd2SLI deluxe : nforce4SliIntel edition

I had the same problems, Zappadoc's driver didn't help, cause Zappadoc didn't added string for nForce 4 SLI IE PATA. Device id of your PATA controller is 003510de, isn't it? I had to compile driver from Darwin sources on my own.

I novice in the "mac" world and change Kerxt etc it's so new for me... AND THE REST TOO
But for the device id .. How to get it?
I have cheked NVIDI nForce4 Intel edition Parallel Ata Controller and i found : PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0035&SUBSYS_818A1043&REV_F2\3&411E6FE&0&78

thus i think my device id is 0035 .. not 003510de . I'm wrong?

I'm learning..be cool :-)


EDIT :: thanks to Morden my problem is resolved. !

ok, hey

I have a Hp computer and it has like a ATI RS480 Host Bridge and
ATI IXP SB400 IDE Controller 1002-4376-2A26103C-00 not sure what thiese numbers mean = "(255) (0-20-1)" but any way this modified kext should work but it dosn't in booting up it says "com.apple.AppleOnboardPCATA.kext" has no kernel dependency. I'm running 10.4.6 so i don't see the problem, the only thing it might be is my hard drive is connect in the 2nd line in the IDE cable and the 1st is my DVD burner.... do u guys think its that?

Thanks
-Tabha

does it wotk on nforce4 4x to?

I think i have the same or similar system.


is there a similar driver but with sata support?

did you find a solution yet?

does anyone know how this could be added?

Man this is INSANE! Works TERRIBLY fast on my nForce4 board! System boot time is like 10s(!) to desktop now compared to 1-2 minutes before. Thank you so much for your work!
Using ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe here...

Vista, better strap your running boots! =)

hi

i v an MSI MS-7184 with ATI SB400 218S4EASA32HK DH0826.00 0519SS ( HP DESKTOP 5129FR )

installed the AppleOnboardPCATA.kext but the hd is still slow & i can t start any installer

anyone know if there s a solution available ?

Zappadoc: Thank you for this driver. Huge drive performance gain (over AppleGenericATA)
on my Compaq R3000T running osx86 10.4.6. Also enabled my optical drive,
as was the case with a previous post.

If anyone is struggling to identify their chipset, try cpuz (if you're able
to boot windows). I wasn't able to find an osx util to give similar info.

Northbridge ATI ID5833 rev. 02
Southbridge ATI SB200 rev. 00

Mine doesn't work - just gets stuck on "waiting for root device", the generic ATA kext works but only without UDMA so it is very slow.


I'm on an ATI IXP chipped motherboard - the device id thing is either 1002-4376 or 1002-4379, i'm not sure. Is there a way I can find out from within OS X? I'm on 10.4.8 BTW.



Thanks.

My hard drive is connected to the second connection of the cable, the first being my dvd player just like "nepali_gurkha".

Is this what is causing my problem?

omg
my broad is D101ggc ,it look's like cannot use it
cause ,my harddisk is ST 250G(sata)

excuse me,could you make another driver for sata.
thanks

Will this work for my Nvidia nForce4 MCP51??

I am running OSX 10.4.8 on my 500 Gb PATA Drive and was wondering about installing this kext.
i have an MSI K9N Nforce 570 Mobo
is it even supported by the kext?

here are my xbench results for my hdd:

thanks

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

if sata, than sata not ide
its strightly different thing

look my specs

the file is gone?

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 ? =)

Hello, thanks for this file,
Sorry but i don't understand how integrate the file on my ISO DVD
thanks .

I am using AppleVIAATA, but I have a SB450. IDE disks works good. But SATA dont recognized. Any idea?

Thank you!

gaston

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.
