Hi Mark,
Its an embedded device whereby the one HDD I have does not work with the
Marvel PMP. I have the command to send to the PMP controller but I am
not an officianado with linux SATA(the code I have is from VxWorks) The
drive is confirmed working, but the PMP chip does not default to SATA
Generation 1, and this HDD is a bit dumb to figure it out :) - so I have
to force the PMP controller to Gen1 mode.
(I have tons of drives that work just fine, its just this ONE Maxtor
drive that is being a pain)
The short - I need to write a command to the SATA controller before this
HDD can be recognised.
Much appreciated,
Richard
