Heh. I'm so used to almost every disk nowadays attaching as sd

heh.
one day everything that talks ata (including cf cards and old wdc
stuff) should all sit under atascsi and appear as sd(4). i would
love it if someone could spend the time reworking the code to make
it happen.
Are the ATA features, normally accessible with atactl(8), supported
in any way for SATA disks appearing as sd(4) disks? I do not know if
smartctl from ports work for them, too.
Atactl works fine on sd disks behind atascsi. It's actually less code
than the same functionality on wd. I don't know about smartctl, but it
shouldn't be hard to support.
I have only SCSI, ATA and USB disks currently.
There isn't much else out there. Pretty much everything talks SCSI or
ata now.
