<p class="Pp">This controller hardware is very old and pretty peculiar, with
    poor ATAPI support. It's very unlikely that the driver will receive any
    further changes, particularly not for the Gen I and Gen II controllers. Use
    an <a class="Xr">ahcisata(4)</a> compatible controller instead.</p>
