NAME

     ahcisata -- AHCI 1.0 and 1.1 compliant SATA controllers driver


SYNOPSIS

     ahcisata* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000


DESCRIPTION

     The ahcisata driver supports the SATA controllers compliants to the
     Serial ATA Advanced Host Controller Interface Revision 1.0 or 1.1 speci-
     fication, and provides the interface with the hardware for the ata(4)
     driver.

     The ahcisata driver will only attach if the contoller has been put in
     AHCI mode by the BIOS; if the controller is in pciide-compatible mode, it
     will be handled by the appropriate driver ( piixide(4) for Intel AHCI
     controllers).
