Ok, here you will find the new improved ATI IPX/ATA driver.

I started from Open Darwin AppleOnBoardATA source pkg like Scousi (thanks again for this great idea my friend) but I've made a new class for ATI chipsets (AppleATIIXPATA) rather than patch the ServerWorksATA class with support 0x4349 and 0x4376 device id and also add the support of UDMA from 66 to 133 (mode 4, 5 and 6).

 

Ez Installation :):

- uncompress the archive on the root of your harddisk

- launch Terminal with sudo -s + password

- cp /AppleOnboardATA.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

- check the permission:

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleOnBoardATA.kext

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleOnBoardATA.kext

- remove AppleGenericATA and AppleOnBoardATA from IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/

- Remove kextcache

rm Extension.kextcache from /System/Library

- rebuild kextcache

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/

- reboot

 

on standard or verbose mode you must see on the screen or on system.log someting like :

AppleATIIXPATA: ATI SB450 (CMD 0x1f0, CTR 0x3f4, IRQ 14, BM 0xf800)

or

AppleATIIXPATA: ATI ATA (CMD 0x1f0, CTR 0x3f4, IRQ 14, BM 0xf800)

 

Enjoy!

ps: could you tell me the device ID of SB100/SB150/SB200/SB250 chipset and confirm the SB450, thanks!

Awesome! Thanks.

 

I've seen recently that the SB ATI ATA is based on the Silicon Image 3112.

 

I haven't touched the driver since then. If we ever get the sound driver to work, we shoud do a professional installer that would do both.

 

A few of us are working on the sound - but the solution isn't as easy as the ATA was. (Must admit that some luck was invloved there)!

I have Acer Aspire 3022 with SB400

I did not get speed improve....

You won't see much of an improvement on a laptop as the drive itself is the bottlneck rather than the contoller.

This driver is GREAT! :censored2:

I can confirm this driver works on my laptop with ATI Mobility 9100 IGP! (SB 200...as I remember)

Before loading this driver, OS X 10.4.5 is not able to identify my optical drive,

but now it does!

 

And the startup time is much faster! :angel:

Before loading this driver I got around 10 marks in the disk test, acoording to my memory.

Thanks for your great work! ;)

On my sb400 controller with a 7200rpm hitachi

 

i have about the same score (32.60) as the quoted guys above.., how can this be, is there a way to check the current dma mode etc? > like hdparam under *nix?

Zappa one thing, now I can see only one strange problem the OS is terrible FAST but sometime the cursor or the keybord or the DOCK freez for 1sec .....

 

Do you know what is ?

 

OH GOD ZAPPA

 

I've reboot 3 times and some time the boot hang at:

 

From path:"uuid" ,

Waiting for boot volume with UUID 392F7CED-ADA3-396A-396A-A415-89CC760F8B8F

Waiting on ....ec.....

Hi guys,

New here so don't shoot me for asking the wrong things.

So far I've installed about three times every time ending up with a dead disk.

I've been fidling around with the settings for this SB400 and looking to change somethings before I add it to OSX.

 

Was looking at the Info.plist and wondering what value to change to reflect my system.

This is the original plist:

 

<key>ATI IXP PCI</key>

<dict>

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

<string>com.apple.driver.AppleOnboardPCATA</string>

<key>Hardware Vendor</key>

<string>ATI</string>

<key>IOClass</key>

<string>AppleOnboardPCATARoot</string>

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0x43761002 0x43491002</string>

<key>IOProbeScore</key>

<string>10000</string>

<key>IOProviderClass</key>

<string>IOPCIDevice</string>

</dict>

 

Now the question on what to change where? Would I substitute 0x43761002 0x43491002 with 0x43761002?

 

HW= HP NX6125 AMD Turion 64 ML32.
