ATI / NVIDIA OnBoard (P) ATA Driver

[Morden]

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.

[gondawa]

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

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?

[shedt]

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?

does anyone know how this could be added?

[Crazor]

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!

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 ?

[abamac]

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.

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?

[lwt]

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??

[AcidRain9]

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:

instead of rev, could you post your ATI components PCI ID's?

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.

[Shadow Root]

I am waiting for a Leopard version too

[zandera]

Will this work for my Nvidia nForce4 MCP51??

 

if sata, than sata not ide

its strightly different thing

 

look my specs

[ole2]

the file is gone?

 

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!

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

[Magicum]

== 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?

[Magicum]

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

[Bernymo]

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...

Hello, thanks for this file,

Sorry but i don't understand how integrate the file on my ISO DVD

thanks .

[Shadow Root]

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

 

Thank you!

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.
