AMD miniIDE Driver 
for Windows
Version 5.2.2.0179



DESCRIPTION:
The miniIDE driver provides support for the PATA and SATA controllers on the AMD SB700, as well as the SATA controller on the AMD SB800/Hudson-1. With this driver, the Windows OS Device Manager can show the correct number of available IDE channels, and the proper name for each controller.
The SB700 SATA controller can operate in three modes:
• All six ports can be configured in IDE mode. In this configuration, the programming interface of two of the ports (4 and 5) is under the PATA controller.
• Four ports (0 to 3) configured as SATA AHCI, and two ports (4 and 5) configured in IDE mode. In this configuration, the programming interface of ports 4 and 5 is under the PATA controller.
• All six ports are configured in SATA AHCI mode.
SB700 PATA Controller:
The integrated Parallel ATA controller contains a single PATA channel, which can be configured as a primary or secondary IDE channel. The controller can be configured to operate in legacy or native IDE mode, and may support a second IDE channel if ports 4 and 5 are assigned from the SATA controller.
The SB800/Hudson-1 SATA controller can operate in three modes:
• All six ports are configured in IDE mode. In this configuration, the SATA controller is configured as two IDE controllers, with the programming interface of ports 0 to 3 under the first IDE controller, and ports 4 and 5 under the second IDE controller.
• Four ports (0 to 3) configured as SATA AHCI, and two ports (4 and 5) configured in IDE mode. In this configuration, the programming interface of ports 4 and 5 is under the second IDE controller.
• All six ports are configured in SATA AHCI mode.
