Several bugs and missing pieces in the new-EH conversion were addressed
(often by copying highly similar code from sata_promise, a highly
similar chip)
The only thing left is some "it still works" testing... any takers?
I have SX4000 card, it is based on the same PDC20621 chip, but has PATA
ports
(without PATA-SATA bridges).
Can I help?
I am newbie here, but I will try to modify the driver to support PATA
card as well
and test your patch.
welcome to dive in and figure out what is needed, but you'd be asking
questions to which we wouldn't have answers.
I found Promise provided docs for FreeBSD team.

I do have the sx4000 in the works (thanks to Promise who has provided docsCan we ask them too? :)
and HW to make this happen)..
Interesting, I cut off all unrelated lines from freebsd/ata/ata-chipset.c
and it seems SX4/SX4000 driver is only about 700 lines long.
