I've acquired a UDMA66 capable IDE card with a CMD-648 chip,
which is supposed to provide me with ide2 and ide3.
ide2 is empty and ide3 has a writeable cdrom and an IDE zip
drive on it.
At boot up, the card's bios scan recognizes the cdrom and zip
as master and slave on its secondary ide i/f, which is correct.
However, it indicates that since it...
'Can't find a UDMA66 capable device'
it is
'Disabling the UDMA66 bios'.
I've done the usual append for ide3, in lilo.conf but w/o benefit.
Kernel is currently 2.2.16,
The mobo is an Asus A7V133 and the CPU is an 1.1 Athlon
South bridge is a via 686b which runs fine at UDMA100 on a
pair of Maxtors on IDE-0.
I'll be upgrading this machine to 2.4.n-whatever in about 3 wks but...
...I'd like to get the 2 devices operational on this or
some other 2.2.x, before that, if I can.
I can't find the chip's datasheet. CMD only gives it to direct customers.
I do have the datasheet for the CMD-646U, a prior UDMA supporting chip.
I take this to be a bug in the on-card Bios.
I am hoping to circumvent the bios. I assume it will involve some
measure of IDE initialization which I don't mind coding if
it does not exist yet.
So has anyone encountered this chip yet and
are there any existing solutions or suggestions.
Thanx much
The CMD-648 chip's vital statistics follow...
