4 Serial-ATA Interface
The Serial-ATA controller supports two operating modes: a native PCI IDE controller and a RAID/AHCI con-
troller.
4.1 Native PCI IDE Controller
In this mode no drivers are needed for a Windows ® installation. Interrupt and I/O-addresses can take any
value (except the known legacy settings 0x1F0/0x170 respectively IRQ14/15).
Diagnostic tools which bypass the INT13 and directly access registers may cause uncontrolled behaviors.
We strongly advise against the use of such tools.
Attention: For a bootable drive the Option ROM must be enabled.
4.2 RAID/AHCI Controller
The RAID functionality is not supported but the driver and Option ROM use this expression. A Windows ®
installation without S-ATA drivers is not possible. To install Windows ® XP on a Serial-ATA harddisk the file
TXTSETUP.OEM must be supplemented. Without any addition Windows ® expects the driver on a legacy
floppy drive. The following modifications allows the installation from a USB floppy drive.
;--The following lines give additional USB floppy support
id = "USB\VID_03F0&PID_2001", "usbstor" #--HP
id = "USB\VID_08BD&PID_1100", "usbstor" #--Iomega
id = "USB\VID_0409&PID_0040", "usbstor" #--NEC
id = "USB\VID_055D&PID_2020", "usbstor" #--Samsung
id = "USB\VID_0424&PID_0FDC", "usbstor" #--SMSC
id = "USB\VID_054C&PID_002C", "usbstor" #--Sony
id = "USB\VID_057B&PID_0001", "usbstor" #--Y-E Data
If a USB floppy drive is still not detected properly the parameters can be determined as follows:
Plugin the USB floppy drive on any Desktop PC running the Windows
® XP operating system and open the
device manager in the system control panel. The floppy drive should be listed below the entry Universal
Serial Bus Controller. Goto it's properties, select the details tab, then Hardware IDs where you can see
USB\VID_ ... &PID_ .... These values must be added as a new line to the file TXTSETUP.OEM.
Presumeably this addition must correspond with the file
USBSTOR.INF. If the floppy drive identification is
not implemented in this file the installation might fail.
