Try the port for the digitallogic adl855pc or whatever it is. modulo Intel's unwillingness to tell us how the chips actually work I think the structure is close to right.
The Arima HDAMA is still the gold standard, but it is really way more complex than a simple 440bx system. That's why I like the digitallogic port better as an example.
I've been going over the various ports trying to get a feel for whats needed. What I think I may do is take a stab at creating a generic port. Some fictious motherboard that has the minimum structure necessary as a search and replace starting point. Does that sound useful? If so what should I name it?
