There's currently no way to do that. The device has to be recognised
from the PCI vendor and device ID in the driver.
The driver code is deliberately conservative, there are many broken
devices out there. However, it would not be much of a stretch to allow
any unrecognised controller to be used in non-DMA mode.

If thats the case I should be able to hook it up to the normal ata
interface, to at least install, then I can fix that driver :) Thanks.

I have a onboard hpt366 ( highpoint tech 66dma controller ) which is
not being detected automajically. I've checkout out the the archives
and the plan9.ini man but I have yet to see anything about setting the
i/o port for ide drives. i saw something about looking at the driver
code and getting the manufactures number or what not but i'm hoping
there is an setting for plan9.ini.
i have the i/o ports from linux, (0xb000,0xb400 and 0xc000,0xc400) but
just need a way to pass them to the system.
all suggestions are appreciated - Tim
