Hi,

Sorry for replying so late; I'm cleaning my inbox...

On  26 Dec, this message from Rolf Weidmann echoed through cyberspace:

Hm, IDE has had that 'lost interrupt' problem a few times already....
Can you try and send along 'lspci' from a runnign system with this
controller, to see whether it gets a correct interrupt assigned?

What does this SCSI controller have to do with the IDE controller above?

Is this car supported under MacOS? Does it emulate a SCSI controller?
