sheldonh 88dd9b4faa Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

Generic WD100x/IDE disk controller driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device wdc0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14" Op flags Ar flags
.Cd device wd0 at wdc0 drive 0
.Cd "device wd1 at wdc0 drive 1" Op flags Ar flags
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to disks connected to controllers that emulate
the Western Digital WD100x series.
This range of controllers includes WD1003
type ST412 controllers, WD1007 ESDI controllers and also the generic IDE
controllers found on most motherboards.
.Pp
Your controller documentation is usually quick to point out any WD100x
compatibility.
.Pp
You can convey a number of hints and instructions to the driver using
the
.Ar flags
parameter.
.Pp
For each drive there are six bit-fields encoded in a 16 bit integer:
.Bl -tag -width 0x0000 -offset 1c
.It 0x8000
Test and use the 32bit transfer capability of the drive.
.It 0x4000
If drive looks like it's coming out of sleep mode, assume it's
confused and reinitialize it.
.It 0x2000
Probe for and use the bus-mastering DMA capabilities of modern
PCI chipsets.
.It 0x1000
Use LBA addressing instead of the default CHS addressing.
.It 0x0f00
Force number of heads to ((flags & 0xf00)>>8), recalculate number
of cylinders to match.
.It 0x00ff
Test and use multi-sector transfer mode of this drive, max number of
sectors attempted is (flags & 0x00ff).
.El
.Pp
The flags can be specified on the line for the drive as a 16 bit int,
or on the controller line as a 32 bit int, where the top 16 bit is
relevant to the highest numbered drive.
