# DESCRIPTION

The `wdc` driver provides the basic functions for the wd(4) and atapiscsi(4) drivers. It supports IDE and EIDE controllers, as well as MFM, RLL, and ESDI on the ISA bus. PCI IDE controllers in legacy mode are also supported, but the pciide(4) driver may provide more functionality.

For the isa(4) front-end, setting `flags` to 0x01 enables 32-bit I/O negotiation. This is known to cause problems with some motherboards.
