Yes. I know or to teach the AHCI driver how to drive the PATA part of the
device. Unfortunately I've been trying - privately and now publically to

I also don't have the docs for it and requests to Jeff for the relevant

And you can have my ack for it, but don't expect anything to happen

(and yes I *am* cross about this)
