If you build a chipset with an AHCI interface, you need a license. Chip design is outside the purview of OpenBSD, I think. > my last question for people running ahci, is it better than > ide in any perceivable way? Why, yes. It means we can use the same code to support any chipset in AHCI mode. The alternative is to write special code for each chip to support its very own legacy mode--the mess that is pciide(4). Or fall back to a 1986-style common IDE interface without DMA etc. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
