The A7000+ has a one-channel (two-device) ATA interface. I'm afraid I
can't help with the rest...
Since you're writing to this list, I'm going to take a giant intuitive
leap and guess you're trying (or planning to try) to run NetBSD on an
A7000... if I'm wrong, please ignore me :). I have been trying
on-and-off to make this work for a while now, and have pretty much
failed: if you have better luck, I'd appreciate knowing how you did it
(off-list if you like). Of course, I would also be happy to share what
little I've learned (and it really is little: unfortunately, my
understanding of the internals of RISCOS is much less than I'd like).
