CMD640
CMD640, the California Micro Devices Technology Inc product 0640, is an IDE interface chip for the PCI and VLB buses. CMD640 had some sort of hardware acceleration: WDMA and Read-Ahead (prefetch) support.
CMD Technology Inc was acquired by Silicon Image Inc. in 2001.
The original CMD640 has data corruption bugs, some of which remained in CMD646. The data corruption bug is similar to the bug affecting the contemporaneous PC Tech (a subsidiary of Zeos) RZ1000 chipset. Both chipsets were used on a number of motherboards, including those from Intel.
Modern operating systems have a workaround for this bug by prohibiting aggressive acceleration mode and losing about 10% of the performance.[citation needed]
