oddities with OS2AHCI version 2.04
Matt Walsh:
AHCI 2.04 works fine here on AMD A6 7470K CPU on MSI A88XM-E45 V2 motherboard with 4 gig of RAM. Flash disk 256 Gig formated JFS and all is well except some odd crashes with Firefox 45.

Here's no problem, with intel i7.
The only suggestion I can think of, compares the config.sys with previous files, every time I see more application failures when modifying the config.sys.

It should not matter if the system is amd or intel based, as the SATA AHCI interface is a standard and the os2ahci driver should support the hardware. The Bulldozer and not latest Core I7 CPU have a chipset that contains the controller, and not the CPU itself.
Not sure how, but some people got a "OS/2" to work on a Ryzen based system.

I cannot find any proof for this claims. In fact the Advanced Host Controller Interface is a specification by Intel.

The OS2AHCI adapter device driver is based on older code from Linux or BSD. There has never been a certification process (that would fail) at all.

That is interesting, could you please ask them to give us some information. I have not been able to do that on boards with the X370 chipset, the B350 chipset and the A320 chipset using both a Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 CPU. Even an A12 APU with those chipsets is problematic.
Also, any board with as ASMedia chipset for AHCI is a no go. From that the only conclusion that can be drawn is that there is NO standard unless it is an Intel or Intel supported chipset with our OS2AHCI driver.
