-1.3 IDE devices in /proc/ide
-----------------------------
-
-The subdirectory /proc/ide contains information about all IDE devices of which
-the kernel is aware. There is one subdirectory for each IDE controller, the
-file drivers and a link for each IDE device, pointing to the device directory
-in the controller specific subtree.
-
-The file 'drivers' contains general information about the drivers used for the
-IDE devices::
-
- > cat /proc/ide/drivers
- ide-cdrom version 4.53
- ide-disk version 1.08
-
-More detailed information can be found in the controller specific
-subdirectories. These are named ide0, ide1 and so on. Each of these
-directories contains the files shown in table 1-6.
