SATA specs?
wolfgang kern
IDE-drives seem to be out of date now, so I have to
implement full SATA-support ASAP (BIOS-independent).
what I got (t13,sata) so far:
e07131r0-SATA-IO_Commands_for_ATA-8.pdf
which contains just changes to some 'clauses', but
I couldn't find 'e06150r5'(NCQ) nor where the source
of this 'clauses' are ment to be.
D1699r6a-ATA8-ACS.pdf
where I saw only two serial commands (60h,61h)
and hints like "see SATA 2.5/2.6" w/o links to it.
SATA-IO.org announces just dated books on amazon ... ?
And I stumbled over alot of (almost useless) information
on: "why is SATA that good", and several change-records
to documents I can't find, so I'm kinda lost yet.
My collection on ATA/ATAPI 4...7 mentions Serial ATA,
but just like 'reserved for ...'.
I figured myself how to detect SATA-controller/drives
and ports on my current machine by scanning PCI, but I
have no idea if this is standard or vendor-specific.
Not to mention that SATA comes in several versions ...
Native IDE ?
SCSI-based ?
more than a bit confused, I'd appreciate any light here.

And from your other post:

Oh yes, this two add some bits into this puzzle.
Thanks a lot Rod,
could you complete your SATA driver ?
