# NAME

pdcide — Promise IDE disk controllers driver

# SYNOPSIS

pdcide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000

# DESCRIPTION

The pdcide driver supports the Promise Ultra33, Ultra66, Ultra100, Ultra100TX2, Ultra100TX2v2, Ultra133, Ultra133TX2, Ultra133TX2v2, Fasttrak133 and Serial ATA/150 IDE controllers, and provides the interface with the hardware for the ata(4) driver.

The 0x0002 flag forces the pdcide driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled. This can be used as a debugging aid, or to work around problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

# SEE ALSO

# BUGS

The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz. This driver may not work properly on overclocked systems.

The pdcide driver does NOT function correctly on NetBSD/sparc64.
