I could go into a (long) explanation why this happens, but for now I'm just going to quote the UM: "WRITE ALLOCATE [...] The supervisor should set this bit when it shares data with the user task". I.e., it's required when user and supervisor mode access the same memory locations, which obviously happens during TOS calls.
Thanks! That's enough of an explanation for me :)

I couldn't find any information by searching. Does the TF536 support two IDE devices, i.e. primary and secondary?

Thats supported by the master IDE device not the port itself.

e.g. Master slave.
