26.Dt PDCIDE 4
27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm pdcide
30.Nd Promise IDE disk controllers driver
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Cd "pdcide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000"
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34The
35.Nm
36driver supports the Promise Ultra33, Ultra66, Ultra100, Ultra100TX2,
37Ultra100TX2v2, Ultra133, Ultra133TX2, Ultra133TX2v2, Fasttrak133 and
38Serial ATA/150 IDE controllers, and provides the
39interface with the hardware for the
40.Xr ata 4
41driver.
42.Pp
43The 0x0002 flag forces the
44.Nm
45driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be
46enabled.
47This can be used as a debugging aid, or to work around
48problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

54.Xr pciide 4 ,

56.Xr wdc 4
57.Sh BUGS
58The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above
59are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz.
60This driver may not work properly on overclocked systems.
61.Pp
62The
63.Nm
64driver does NOT function correctly on
65.Nx Ns /sparc64 .
