.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All unknown chipsets are supported at the maximum speed of 16 MB/sec.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver also allows for changes to the transfer mode of the devices
|
|
at a later time when the system is up and running, see
|
|
.Xr atacontrol 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The driver attempts to set the maximum performance transfer mode on your disk
|
|
drives by selecting the highest possible DMA mode.
|
|
However the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver sometimes issues the message
|
|
.Dq Sy "DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device" ,
|
|
if the cable is ATA66 (or above) compliant, it is because the other device
|
|
on this channel states it can only accept up to UDMA2/ATA33 signals.
|
|
ATAPI devices are left in PIO mode because DMA problems are common despite the
|
|
device specifications.
|
|
You can always try to set DMA mode on an ATAPI device using
|
|
.Xr atacontrol 8 ,
|
|
but be aware that your hardware might
|
|
.Em not
|
|
support it and can
|
|
.Em hang
|
|
the system.

.Sh NOTES
|
|
Static numbering
|
|
(enabled with the
|
|
.Dv ATA_STATIC_ID
|
|
kernel option)
|
|
reserves a number for each possibly connected disk,
|
|
even when not present.
|
|
This may result in odd situations where,
|
|
for example,
|
|
ad0 and ad2 exist in the absence of ad1.
|
|
The advantage is that the addition of the formerly absent drive
|
|
does not cause the numbers of the other drives to change.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver does not support MFM/RLL/ESDI (ST-506) style disks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Remember that in order to use UDMA4 (and above) mode you
|
|
.Em have
|
|
to use a special 80 conductor cable,
|
|
and the driver tries to determine if you have such a cable
|
|
attached before setting UDMA4 mode.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The use of UDMA4(66MHz) and higher together with non-UDMA4 devices on
|
|
the same ATA channel is not recommended,
|
|
unless they are run at the non-UDMA4 device's lower speed.
|
|
The driver has been designed to handle that kind of setup but lots of
|
|
older devices do not like this.
