AHCI projects? (Developers)

> Do you intend to publicly provide that code?

yes, I would intend on open sourcing it, although probably through a "ask and ye shall receive" rather than posting it somewhere for anyone to download, at least for starters. It was one of those things that I wrote for a project at my work, but it is no longer useful there, and it has been sitting idle for almost a year. Somewhat gray area as to true ownership rights, but it's 100% written by me, and I would like to see the work live on.

This code talks directly to the hardware. Since most AHCI controllers do also provide INT13 support through an option ROM, there probably isn't a need to do the same with this code. As I was saying, a tool/utility for doing high speed transfers (HDD cloning) is the first thing that comes to mind for this. I suppose it could be tossed into a driver as well, although I would have to research that to see how it would fit in.

AHCI performance in XP isn't good. Vista, server 2008, and 7 are the only O/Ses in the windows families to actually make use of AHCI's abilities. It's a driver stack issue which is outside of my realm of knowledge.
