W83759A
ADVANCED VL-IDE DISK CONTROLLER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W83759A is an advanced version of Winbond's popular VL-IDE interface chip, the W83759. The W83759A retains all of the features and compatibility of the W83759 (the chip meets the ANSI ATA 4.0 specification for IDE hard disk operation and the VESA VL-Bus 2.0 specification for PC local bus devices) while incorporating new features to meet Enhanced IDE, SFF-8011, ATA-2, and Fast-ATA specifications.
Supports Disk Capacity of Greater than 528 MB
The W83759A's driver can handle remapping from BIOS CHS mode to HDD LBA mode. This scheme enables users to break the 528 MB per drive barrier, allowing full use of BIOS INT13 CHS information in drives with a capacity of up to 8.4 GB.
