We apply two errata fixups which are specific to Silicon Image, a Seagate and a Maxtor fixup. </p><p> For certain Seagate devices, we must limit the maximum sectors to under 8K. </p><p> For certain Maxtor devices, we must not program the drive beyond udma5. </p><p> Both fixups are unfairly pessimistic. As soon as I get more information on these errata, I will create a more exhaustive list, and apply the fixups to only the specific devices/hosts/firmwares that need it. </p><p> 20040111 - Seagate drives affected by the Mod15Write bug are blacklisted The Maxtor quirk is in the blacklist, but I'm keeping the original pessimistic fix for the following reasons... - There seems to be less info on it, only one device gleaned off the Windows driver, maybe only one is affected. More info would be greatly appreciated. - But then again UDMA5 is hardly anything to complain about </p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="API-sil-set-mode.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="SILInt.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="libataThanks.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top"><span>sil_set_mode</span> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Chapter 10. Thanks</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
