JMicron ATA Support
Are you trying to build a Hackintosh on the cheap? Do you have an old IDE CD/DVD drive or hard drive from your Pentium II rig collecting dust in the closet? Does your motherboard use the JMicron or GSATA IDE controller? MacMan and I have got the answer for you.
Introducing JMicron36xATA.kext, a 32/64-bit driver for the JMicron 361, 363, 365, 366, 368 and Gigabyte GSATA IDE controllers so you can support that old drive in your shiny new Hackintosh.
We have implemented it in iBoot so you can now install from an IDE DVD Drive or to an IDE Hard Drive.

What is the compatibility of the JMicron36xATA.kext? Is this just for Gigabyte w/10.6, any 10.6 hackintosh, or any 10.6/10.5 hackintosh with the right controller?
This will work with any motherboard that has a JMicron 36x controller. It should work with 10.5 but we have only tested with 10.6.
I have Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3R board, IDE channel from JMicron works without additional kexts, kext supplied with MacOS 10.6 works perfectly. This one if original kext not works, or this is something better?
I have Asus P7P55D-E (JMicron 363) mobo, and I have both JMicron36XATA.kext and JMicron36xSATA.kext installed. It shows JMicron 36x AHCI with my profile, Unfortunately I still couldn't get my old IDE DVD working with 10.6.2. Do I need to set the jumper for DVD?
Anonymous,
You are the first person I've ever heard that it worked. This kext supports more JMicron chips and is 32/64-bit.
Bluefox,
IDE devices need to be set as Cable select and you need to use the appropriate cable. Did your drive show up in the BIOS when you rebooted?
Check this topic http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=710&start=20 in the forum for for more troubleshooting help.
Yes, I saw and have followed the thread. (Cable select and it shows in the BIOS). I will try the IDE cable comes with mobo and see how it goes tonight...Thanks MacMen.
Can you post or come up with a way for us to implement via dsdt?
Fleebailey33,
There is no way to do this in DSDT as you need a driver for the actual hardware.
this jmicron36xata.kext fixed my waiting for root device problem on my ide hard drive for my msi p55-gd65! wtg!

Thanks Tony and Macman, I gave up on this last moth, and you guys made it work really easy, it worked instantly, I now have another DVD-r unit. THANKS.
I have a ASUS P7P55D, which uses the JMicron363 chip, I want to install OS X to a eSATA drive. I have the BIOS JMicron eSATA port set to ACHI. Am I missing something or is that all that needs to be done?
Hi Macman, really appreciate for your hard work on this. I removed JMicronATA.kext and re-install JMicron36xATA.kext yesterday (just give it a try), now it works perfect now. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this, I've been waiting for ages for a working kext for my jMicron controller on my ASUS P5B. Now I can burn again. Cheers!
Tony and MacMan, you guys are incredible! I have been wanting to use my Yamaha CRW-F1 with my hackint0sh for the Disc T@2 feature, and this kext has it working perfectly! For the record, I have a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R mobo.
Where is the link to download the Kext? ¬¬
This new version won't load and my IDE drives don't show up. I have osx 10.6.5 installed with iboot+multibeast on a GA-X58-UD3R and i7 950.
During verbose boot it says. Can't load jmicron36xATA = link state missing
It then goes on to say some other suff about it not being comatible which I missed as it went by.
If I load the version which is installed by multibeast 2.5.1 then all is well and I can see my 2 DVD drives in profiler.
I tried to install OSX 10.6.3 on my ASUS G2S with external eSATA drive but it can't see eSATA drives. How do I install kext during installation disk? Do you have to include JMicro 36x kexts into iBoot CD?
Thanks!

Not loading in 10.5 from E/E.
I too have an IDE DVD Drive, but not Jmicron? Can I still use this. Or will this work irrespective?
