hi there,
i was looking for some ahci info when i stumbled upon the intel site
http://www.intel.com/technology/serialata/ahci.htm
"Implementation of the Advanced Host Controller Interface
Specification requires a license from Intel."
does this mean based on their specs, or _any_ ahci implementation?
also the specs are free to download (unlike SD specs IIRC)..
ahci(4) says the driver emulates SCSI so i guess it is not based
on these specs. but it doesn't mention if it supports the ahci
features that are supposed to be better than ide, e.g. hotswapping
and power management -- so i guess it doesn't...
my last question for people running ahci, is it better than
ide in any perceivable way?
thanks,
-f
