I think so:
ad0: 58644MB <IC35L060AVER07-0> [119150/16/63] at ata0-master tagged
UDMA33
I had to manually add "IC35L060AVER07-0" to ata-disk.c (around line 832)
to get FreeBSD to use it though.
...
ad_tagsupported(struct ad_softc *adp)
{
const char *drives[] = {"IBM-DPTA", "IBM-DTLA", "IC35L060AVER07-0",
NULL};
...
This was a month or so though, so someone might have done the right
thing
and figured out how to parse those new IBM product strings to determine
if the drive supports CTQ or not.
