I've acquired a UDMA66 capable IDE card with a CMD-648 chip,
which is supposed to provide me with ide2 and ide3.
ide2 is empty and ide3 has a writeable cdrom and an IDE zip
drive on it.
At boot up, the card's bios scan recognizes the cdrom and zip
as master and slave on its secondary ide i/f, which is correct.
However, it indicates that since it...
'Can't find a UDMA66 capable device'
it is
'Disabling the UDMA66 bios'.
I've done the usual append for ide3, in lilo.conf but w/o benefit.
Kernel is currently 2.2.16,
The mobo is an Asus A7V133 and the CPU is an 1.1 Athlon
South bridge is a via 686b which runs fine at UDMA100 on a
pair of Maxtors on IDE-0.
I'll be upgrading this machine to 2.4.n-whatever in about 3 wks but...
...I'd like to get the 2 devices operational on this or
some other 2.2.x, before that, if I can.
I can't find the chip's datasheet. CMD only gives it to direct customers.
I do have the datasheet for the CMD-646U, a prior UDMA supporting chip.
I take this to be a bug in the on-card Bios.
I am hoping to circumvent the bios. I assume it will involve some
measure of IDE initialization which I don't mind coding if
it does not exist yet.
So has anyone encountered this chip yet and
are there any existing solutions or suggestions.
Thanx much

Ok, the devices you mentioned above are not UDMA66 capable,
so the controller dropped to UDMA33 capabilities.
Nothing wrong there.

cmd648 seems to be supported in in 2.4. (drivers/ide/cmd64x.c)
This hasn't been backported to 2.2.x. So either backport it, or
upgrade to 2.4

Well the hard part has already been done for you :)

Have you tried mailing them?. I sent mail to something silly like
support@cmd. After they found the right person for me to talk to, I
mentioned wanting to play with linux support, and he happily sent the
datasheets for the 648 and 649.
I use andre's 2.2 ide patches to get support for it..
