Subject: [oc] OCIDEC and 48-bit LBA?
Has anyone used the OCIDEC core and attempted to use 48-bit LBA addressing? The first few pages of the documentation for OCIDEC says it's ATAPI-5 compliant, and LBA 48-bit appears to have been introduced in ATAPI-6, but from what I can tell it's all a matter of register usage and interpretation. If that's the case, I'm thinking I can simply use the registers in that mannor without changing the core. Does anyone know if this is true?

I'm also curious if OCIDEC-3 is what most people are using for access to an IDE HDD, because it looks as if it hasn't been updated in years and may never be. Is there something else out there that works better (SATA is an option as well)?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
