"wdc" is the "C"ontroller, the drives are "wd". E.g. from a dmesg from Jornada 690 from from https://dmesgd.nycbug.org - a CF card in a PCMCIA slot: wdc0 at pcmcia1 function 0: <SanDisk, SDCFXPS-032G, > wdc0: memory mapped mode atabus0 at wdc0 channel 0 wd0 at atabus0 drive 0 wd0: <SDCFXPS-032G> wd0: drive supports 1-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing wd0: 30535 MB, 62041 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 62537328 sectors wd0: 32-bit data port -uwe
