Subject:   VIA 82C596 ATA66 support?
Message-ID:  <Pine.BSF.4.21.0005011922120.1931-100000@cr173116-a.etob1.on.wave.home.com>

Hello!

I recently purchased a new system with the Soyo SY-6VBA 133
motherboard and a IBM Deskstar 34GXP 20.5gig 7200rpm ATA66 IDE drive. That
motherboard has the VIA 693A Chipset but in FreeBSD reports it as the VIA
82C596 chipset. In any event, the VIA chipset supports ATA66 drives
however, it seems to me that FreeBSD doesn't support that chipset. I
installed FreeBSD STABLE a few weeks back and it only allows ATA33
support. Have I done something wrong? or is this chipset not supported as
of yet?

(Oh yes, I have used the proper ATA66 and my bios settings are
correct. Furthermore, I am a FreeBSD newbie, so please bare with me
if this question is obvious. Many thanx in advance.)
