[Freedos-user] IDE vs. SATA

2020-04-24 Thread Michael C Robinson
Freedos in general is an IDE only system, but why not support SATA I/II/III? No MS-DOS, DR-DOS, etcetera don't support SATA, but why not support it anyways? What are the implications of adding SATA support to the kernel or through a TSR? The obvious workaround is to get a SATA to PATA
