i don't believe i've changed the structure of anything. and of course there's no reason you need to use the atom stuff at all. i just thought it might help with your problem. fis.h is required because all the sata drivers need to format fises and that code is centralized in libfis. a fis is the sata analogue to the ide register block. now that there are multiple sata drivers (at least in atom), it makes sense. the alternative to the library is to copy the same code around here and there. that was the original approach, but it resulted in too many bugs. - erik
