Note:
While the enhanced configuration can support a maximum of six ATA devices, Intel recommends
that its customers limit their platforms to a four-device maximum configuration (applicable to both
compatible and enhanced configuration), as this will provide for an easier transition to a four
SATA device maximum configuration on future ICHs.

PI - Programming Interface Register – Offset 09h
As stated previously, the P-ATA and SATA channels can be configured for either native mode
only or a combination of legacy and native modes. This is controlled via the
Programming
Interface
register. The programming interface register is found in both the SATA and P-ATA
functions and can be modified by both BIOS (during POST) and operating system software.
