55 controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.
65 The SC1100 controller requires 4-byte aligned data transfers and
66 cannot handle transfers of exactly 64 kilobytes.
68 The CS5530 multifunction chip/core's
70 section claims to be capable of
74 but in practice using that mode swamps the controller so badly that
80 so that the other functions of this chip continue to work.
84 engine in the CS5530 can only do transfers on cache-line
89 on any other alignment will crash the system.
90 This problem may also exist in the SC1100 since the CS5530 was its
91 direct predecessor, and it is not clear that National Semiconductor
96 driver will reject attempts to
98 to buffers not aligned to the required boundary.
101 disk driver will back off to
103 mode to accomplish these transfer requests, at reduced system performance.
