2  The bulk of the ATA knowledge comes thanks to long conversations with
3  Andre Hedrick (www.linux-ide.org), and long hours pondering the ATA
4  and SCSI specifications.

7  between SATA and SCSI, and in general for motivation to hack on

10  libata's device detection
11  method, ata_pio_devchk, and in general all the early probing was
12  based on extensive study of Hale Landis's probe/reset code in his
13  ATADRVR driver (www.ata-atapi.com).
