31.Dt NJATA 4
32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm njata
35.Nd Workbit NinjaATA-32 CardBus IDE controller driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "njata* at cardbus? function ?"
38.Cd "njata* at cardbus? function ? flags 0x01	# with wait 0x01"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42driver provides support for the following
43Workbit Bus-Master CardBus IDE controller chips:
44.Bl -tag -width "NinjaATA-32Bi" -offset indent
45.It NinjaATA-32Bi
46CardBus / PCMCIA dual mode IDE controller
47.Pq Dq DuoATA .
48This controller is mainly used for portable drives.
49This driver supports the CardBus mode.
50.It NPATA-32
51CardBus IDE controller.
52This controller is widely used for CardBus CompactFlash adapters.
53.El
54.Pp
55These controllers are capable of bus-mastering
56for ATA PIO transfer.
57The
58.Nm
59driver uses the bus-mastering PIO transfer
60unless transfer buffer is unaligned,
61and significantly reduces CPU usage for PIO-only ATA devices
62compared with usual PIO transfer.
63.Sh CONFIGURATION
64The optional flags parameter is the
65.Dq wait
66value for ATA transfers.
67Some combinations of host and device may fail without flags parameter or
68.Cd flags 0x00 .
69In this case try adding wait values like
70.Cd flags 0x01
71or
72.Cd flags 0x11
73(the wait parameter is composed of two 4-bit values).
74Smaller wait values should be faster.
75Too long waits may cause transfer errors.
