31.Dt NJATA 4
32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm njata
35.Nd Workbit NinjaATA-32 CardBus IDE controller driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "njata* at cardbus? function ?"
38.Cd "njata* at cardbus? function ? flags 0x01	# with wait 0x01"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42driver provides support for the following
43Workbit Bus-Master CardBus IDE controller chips:
44.Pp
45.Bl -tag -width "NinjaATA-32Bi" -offset indent
46.It NinjaATA-32Bi
47CardBus / PCMCIA dual mode IDE controller
48.Pq Dq DuoATA .
49This controller is mainly used for portable drives.
50This driver supports the CardBus mode.
51.It NPATA-32
52CardBus IDE controller.
53This controller is widely used for CardBus CompactFlash adapters.
54.El
55.Pp
56These controllers are capable of bus-mastering
57for ATA PIO transfer.
58The
59.Nm
60driver uses the bus-mastering PIO transfer
61unless transfer buffer is unaligned,
62and significantly reduces CPU usage for PIO-only ATA devices
63compared with usual PIO transfer.
64.Sh CONFIGURATION
65The optional flags parameter is the
66.Dq wait
67value for ATA transfers.
68Some combinations of host and device may fail without flags parameter or
69.Tn flags 0x00 .
70In this case try adding wait values like
71.Tn flags 0x01
72or
73.Tn flags 0x11
74(the wait parameter is composed of two 4bit values).
75Smaller wait values should be faster.
76Too long waits may cause transfer errors.
