DMA on ht6560b?

2008-02-18 Thread Jan Evert van Grootheest
Hi, With digging into the code... I think the ht6560b controller supports DMA. At least it did so in 2.2 (where hdparm could still turn it on). DMA in 2.2 would improve the HD from about 1M/s to 4M/s. So that's quite interesting. Also the datasheet claims that there is full ANSI ATA-4a

I think the ht6560b controller supports DMA. The data sheet doesn't. It's a PIO controller capable of PIO4 with 32bit host to cpu transfers are best. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-ide in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http
