IDE_CONFIG?IDE I/O Configuration Register(IDE?D31:F1) Address Offset: 54h Attribute: R/W Default Value: 00h Size: 32 bits Bit 7 Secondary Slave Channel Cable Reporting ? R/W. BIOS should program this bit to tell the IDE driver which cable is plugged into the channel. 0 = 40 conductor cable is present. 1 = 80 conductor cable is present. Bit 6 Secondary Master Channel Cable Reporting ? R/W. Same description as bit 7 Bit 5 Primary Slave Channel Cable Reporting ? R/W. Same description as bit 7 Bit 4 Primary Master Channel Cable Reporting ? R/W. Same description as bit 7 Thanks - Joe -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
