6.2.3 IDE Controller 
 
6.2.3.1 Function and Feature
 
 
The ICH7-M IDE controller features two sets of interface signals(Primary and Secondary) that 
can be independently enabled, tri-stated or driven low. 
  The ICH7-M IDE controller supports both legacy mode and native mode IDE interface. In 
native mode, the IDE controller is a fully PCI compliant software interface and does not use 
any legacy I/O or interrupt...

same register, causing the USB 1.1 controller to see a connect event and the EHC to 
see an ‘electrical’ disconnect event. The UHCI driver and hardware handle the 
connection and initialization process from that point on. The EHCI driver and hardware 
handle the perceived disconnect.

7.2.1 IDE Configuration: 
  7.2.1.1 Primary Master/Slave IDE
 
 
  At system boot, the Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver configures each ATA/ATAPI device to transfer 
data at particular transfer modes. These transfer modes are defined by ATA standards, and are either 
Programmed I/O (PIO) or Direct Memory Access (DMA or UltraDMA) type transfers.    The Intel Ultra 
ATA Storage Driver usually configures devices for their...
