4.2 Enhanced
Configuration
The enhanced configuration is intended for those operating systems (e.g., Microsoft Windows*
2000, Windows* XP) that comprehend both legacy and native modes of operation. It is the
preferred configuration for system software due to the maximum flexibility that it offers. Enhanced
mode allows both the P-ATA and SATA host controllers to be used, providing a maximum of six
ATA (4 P-ATA + 2 SATA) devices that can be used simultaneously.
Note:
In this configuration, the P-ATA controller must be programmed for legacy mode while the SATA
controller must be programmed for native mode of operation. Figure 8 illustrates the enhanced
mode configuration:
