> supposed to offer "legacy" mode, to make writing new
> drivers optional, and (B) AHCI is actually worthless
> for DOS, as DOS handles I-O requests "one at a time"
> and cannot "queue" them, which AHCI needs to improve
> speed. I decided NOT to complicate my drivers; DOS

> SATA controllers, since both are actually identical!
> If cheap mainboard vendors are now dropping "legacy"
> AHCI support, fault all of THEM, and not me!!
