Cool - so we need two different 32bit PIO methods - at least according to
the docs for the AMD we should use entirely 32bit I/O there. Fun fun
Could you refer me to the exact AMD doc that requires that?
AMD762 page 82, under DevB:1x40 bit 14 and bit 12
What exactly AMD-762 document has this? I'm not seeing it in either
stasheet ot software/BIOS design guide. Besides, AMD-762 is a north
bridge and doesn't include IDE.
"Note: only 32-bit writes to the data port are allowed when this bit is
set."
Now tell me who forces you to set that bit (I assume it's the write
buffer enable) for the ATAPI devices?
WBR, Sergei
