I'm requesting a AHCI article on the wiki because AHCI is now common in modern SATA drives.

Story for all of this:
(Yes, I'm contributing to ReactOS, I know)
I was trying to write a AHCI driver for ReactOS. So I now need to find resources for AHCI. Knowing this place I went here but there was not a AHCI article to be seen.
(And yes, I'm now starting to Yahoo! all resources I can find and report them here)

You could always grab the specs and write one yourself. It would be a way to learn more about the way AHCI works.

EDIT: Your signature still says you're working on SauOS.

There is that problem where imate was banned from the wiki for posting total nonsense, now he's back ordering people to write an article for him. I've yet to figure for which of the two reasons that is :?

@imate: yes, AHCI is a good subject to find a place in the wiki, but for ReactOS purposes I think you should write a driver off the specifications alone, and learn to not rely on us to provide you all the information.

Okay then, write the article out in Notepad using the wikitext language (or whatever you people prefer to call it ;) ) and attach it as a .txt and send it to a few of us so we can look it over :)

Just posting it here will do.

I know. You were such a poor poster we had to bring in special measures to be able to ban you from editing articles.
