AHCI is its own standard, so any software written to work on say, the ICH9 AHCI controller should also work on a JMicron AHCI controler, or an ICH10 controller too. Vendors may add their own features to their controllers, and thus want their own driver to take advantage of those features though, and that would be outside of our DOS world without the chipset specifications. The AHCI spec is however available to the public, and that's what I wrote my software against.

Key word there is *should* ;)
