On a cable there may be
eighty wires or perhaps forty
and we learn about its type
In the world of ACPI
So we call the GTM
And we find the the timing rate
And we look through it to see
If eighty wire it must be
Timing lives in ACPI routines
ACPI routines, ACPI routines
Timing lives in ACPI routines
ACPI routes ACPI routines
And the drivers call into see
Which cable type its to be
And the code begins to work
Timing lives in ACPI routines
ACPI routines, ACPI routines
Timing lives in ACPI routines
ACPI routes ACPI routines
[Full speed ahead, Mr Hacker, full speed ahead]
Full speed over here sir!
Checking Cable, checking cable
Aye aye, 80 wire,
Heaven heaven]
If we use ACPI (ACPI)
Every box (every box) has all we need (has all we need)
Cable type (cable type) and mode timing (mode timing)
In our ATA (in our ATA) subroutines (subroutines, ha ha)
Timing lives in ACPI routines
ACPI routines, ACPI routines
Timing lives in ACPI routines
ACPI routes ACPI routines
Timing lives in ACPI routines
ACPI routines, ACPI routines
Timing lives in ACPI routines
ACPI routes ACPI routines
