Hi Folks,

I'm using an AOPEN AK77PRO motherboard with 4.7 PRERELEASE.

The ATA controller (VIA 8233) is not show on the freebsd.org web site=20
as a supported chipset. Is this correct? I have reason to believe=20
not, as a friend with a local ISP is running several of these=20
motherboards with -STABLE (with ATA-100 mode).

The problem I'm having is that the Maxtor 6L080J4 ATA-133 drives are=20
being recognized as UDMA33 with the message "non-ATA66 cable or=20
device".

the ata(4) man page indicates that you can force the controller to=20
change modes with "sysctl hw.atamodes". Inputting this to sysctl=20
results in "unknown oid 'hw.atamodes'.

The ata(4) man page is apparently wrong, so how can I change the mode=20
manually? I'd be happy to settle for ATA-100.

(Yes, I'm using 80 wire cables!)

Thanks,

Jim Durham
