Update: Set Automatic Acoustic Management
Authored by: alexwegel on Oct 19, '04 01:49:54AM

Update for secondary drives

After looking into the ata specs again i found that the
drive number must be encoded in the command.
That's why the command wont work for a secondary (slave) drive!

I checked it and - yes, now it works there too.

The difference is minimal, and there's no change for primary
drives (btw - s-ata drives are all primary drives, each with its
own bus).

So, to silence the example "ultra1" device, type:

0 0 0 here 428000 , 10ef , apply ata-command ultra1 .


The difference is the "10ef" for the secondary drive, where
there was a "ef" for the primary.

This error did not do any harm, only it didn't work..

Happy hacking,
Alex

Please forgive this ignorant question but what exactly does this hack do to the drive (assuming that AAM is supported on the given drive)?

Thank you :-)
