IDE isn't really supported yet. EIDE/ATA is mostly.
PCI IDE legacy/native - yes but we don't handle mixed

"Full support for initializing PATA device, controller timings" -
Nowhere near until the indpendent timing stuff is merged

Under not supported might be worth adding HPA, simplex DMA, legacy ISA
devices.


Controllers: -ac patch now has (not all tested or by any means ready for
the mainstream!)

ALi (no MWDMA yet)
AMD
ATIIXP
CS5520 (no VDMA)
CS5530
CS5535
CS5536
EFAR
HPT343/363
HPT36x
HPT37x
HPT3x2N
IT8172
IT821X
MPIIX
early PIIX
OPTI
PIIX/ICH/ESB etc
RZ1000 workarounds
SC1200
SIS (no MWDMA on some versions)
Serverworks OSB4/CSB5/CSB6
SL82C105
Triflex
VIA

Big glaring holes in the PC world

CMD64x
ARTOP
