 { ATA_SIS652,  0x00, SIS_SOUTH, 0, ATA_UDMA6, "SiS 652" }
 { ATA_SIS751,  0x00, SIS_SOUTH, 0, ATA_UDMA6, "SiS 751" }
 { ATA_SIS752,  0x00, SIS_SOUTH, 0, ATA_UDMA6, "SiS 752" }

Or so it seems, it depends on the southbridge on the board, so this is
the max, but depending on the actual HW it can be UDMA5.

The ATA driver is in violent flux currently, but I will update the
man page when I'm done with the changes..

So would you like to handle docs/55512 yourself?

driver maintainers, please help

2003-08-14 Thread Lukas Ertl
Hi there,

this is a call for help from the various driver maintainers.  In a recent
discussion on -doc it has come out that several manpages are not in sync
with what's listed in the 5.1 Hardware Notes, and I'm currently trying to
update those manpages.  Unfortunately, for some devices (especially older
ones) I'd need some info that I just can't find on the web, so I hope some
of the maintainers or authors can give me a hint (and of course anyone
else who knows).

What I would like to know so far:

*) ata(4) - what are the supported UDMA levels for SiS 652, 751, and 752?
*) Adaptec 1510 and 1535 - are these supported by aha(4)?

I'm sure there's more to come but this is all for now.

Of course, it would be very helpful here if the driver maintainers could
have a look at their manpages and compare them to the Hardware Notes and
catch up with what isn't in the respective man page.

Thanks so far,
regards,
le

We also have several drivers in 5.1 that don't even have man pages. :-(

It will be dealt with when I'm done with these changes, so in a way yes...

"Reference to documentation is the hallmark of the coward" 

;)

But you are right of course...
