    initial v1  
    11Currently, the driver does not support any SMART software available for OS/2 or eCS. There is a ring 3 IOCTL interface in OS2AHCI (see [source:/trunk/src/os2ahci/ioctl.h ioctl.h] or the sample program [source:/trunk/src/os2ahci/test/ioctl_test.c here]), but the interface does not support everything needed to retrieve all relevant SMART info (no ATA register access).

    3 Next problem is that the IBM interface that is used by existing OS/2 SMART software relies on IDE addressing with 2 adapters, each with a master and a slave. We would have to make up some kind of mapping to support AHCI connected drives.

    55Anyway, SMART support already was on our TODO-List anyway, so we will think this over.
