38.Dt NJATA 4
39.Os
40.Sh NAME
41.Nm njata
42.Nd Workbit NinjaATA-32 CardBus IDE controller driver
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "njata* at cardbus? function ?"
45.Cd "njata* at cardbus? function ? flags 0x01	# with wait 0x01"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49driver provides support for the following
50Workbit Bus-Master CardBus IDE controller chips:
51.Pp
52.Bl -tag -width "NinjaATA-32Bi" -offset indent
53.It NinjaATA-32Bi
54CardBus / PCMCIA dual mode IDE controller
55.Pq Dq DuoATA .
56This controller is mainly used for portable drives.
57This driver supports the CardBus mode.
58.It NPATA-32
59CardBus IDE controller.
60This controller is widely used for CardBus CompactFlash adapters.
61.El
62.Pp
63These controllers are capable of bus-mastering
64for ATA PIO transfer.
65The
66.Nm
67driver uses the bus-mastering PIO transfer
68unless transfer buffer is unaligned,
69and significantly reduces CPU usage for PIO-only ATA devices
70compared with usual PIO transfer.
71.Sh CONFIGURATION
72The optional flags parameter is the
73.Dq wait
74value for ATA transfers.
75Some combinations of host and device may fail without flags parameter or
76.Tn flags 0x00 .
77In this case try adding wait values like
78.Tn flags 0x01
79or
80.Tn flags 0x11
81(the wait parameter is composed of two 4bit values).
82Smaller wait values should be faster.
83Too long waits may cause transfer errors.
