MacOS X is pretty blind. It is depending upon the Open Firmware definition of the two ATA channels. On any Macs which have a Key Largo ATA chip, you may override the O.F. definition with a patch. Either one or both channels. As the patch is persistent in the read-only storage, it is good until the PRAM is reset. Unlike the "High Cap" kext, the O.F. patch is good at all times. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
