I could not find a way to set up PATA compat in the BIOS.
Would it help to add a line:
ahci "pciclass,010400"
to /etc/driver_aliases?
or something else?
I found that the SATA chip is called VT8237R (Southbridge) and the
Nothbridge is a K8T800 Pro.
PATA is also inside the VT8237R Southbridge.
It seems to be hard these days to buy a PCI SATA controller that does not
implement software RAID. The only way I currently see to use the disk drive is
to connect it via a SATA <-> USB adaptor which limits I/O speed tp 28 MB/s
which is 1/4 of the native speed of the disk.
