Jack replied me, below: [quote] All of what you noted is correct. I have no plans to do UDF format, as it is huge. UIDE handles SATA/IDE drives but not AHCI controllers, and I have no plans to add AHCI since it offers no benefit for DOS (chained I-O cannot be used by DOS drivers -- COMPLEX reasons why not!). Most AHCI controllers can be set to "legacy", or "compatible", mode (i.e. IDE!) -- if some newer notebooks do not permit this, little I can do about it. Alain worried about "legacy IDE", which is not a problem. If a controller is assigned to "legacy IDE" addresses, by the PCI BIOS or because it is an old "hardwired" one, the UIDE driver will detect those addresses and run whichever devices are on the "legacy" controller.
