New AppleVIAATA & AppleNForceATA for Snow Leopard
 
SuperVIAATA
Quote:

I wrote a new one for Snow Leopard, with controller name Support.
Build in Snow Leopard in x86_64 and with the newest compiler.
Supports 965 chipsets, and a lot more!!

If you're still in Leopard, because AppleVIAATA isn't for Leopard, this one works for you!
You can add your own ID's in the info.plist.

Only Supports Snow Leopard, and you can have the max RAM!!

It's called SuperVIAATA, based on AppleVIAATA
SuperNForceATA

If you're still in 32 bits, cauz of AppleNForceATA, this one is for you!

@c0rk007hck:

Thanks for your work!
Can you please explain what is "Controller Name Support"?

Hey c0rk007hck I was taking a look at the logs and saw this:

Code:

08/10/09 21:20:51    kernel    SuperNForceATA: selected PIO mode 4
08/10/09 21:20:51    kernel    SuperNForceATA: selected Ultra mode 6
08/10/09 21:20:51    kernel    SuperNForceATA: 80-conductor cable not detected
08/10/09 21:20:51    kernel    SuperNForceATA: selected Ultra mode 2

Does it means that my ata disk is in udma 2? And it is an 80 conductor cable.

What nforce controller do you have? Some of the newer ones got troubles with cable detection not working. In Linux you can disable that with a kernel argument, but I think that cant be done in OS X.
Maybe c0rk007hck can implement a toggle in the driver to ignore a failed cable detection...

I have an Asus A8N-SLI with an nforce4 sli controller. Hope this is just an error.

thorazine74 10-10-2009 10:17 AM

You can check the PIO/UDMA modes in the IORegistry, most drivers report it there. In my case with an MCP73 controller it was running in UDMA2 indeed, not a big deal with a DVD recorder (like in my case) but if you have a modern HD you will surely experience some performance hit.
I think its not an error, the driver is probably based on the linux one, and even recent linux drivers suffer from the same bug...

This is Leopard kext by MeDevil, patched by Andy for more RAM support.
