What you do not know is that there will be a drive int the futre that will have a native SCSI overlay and front end. This will have a SCB->ATA converter/emulation. This will require setup and booting as a SCSI device. FUN, heh?? Andre Hedrick The Linux ATA/IDE guy

Hz PCI-Bus speed setting variations. The later is a real hard puzzle to code. Every transfer rate as a different 32-bit decode value. 5 PIO settings 0,1,2,3,4 3 DMA settings 0,1,2 (multi-word) 5 UltraDMA settings 0,1,2,3,4 --- 13 settings * three busspeeds == 39 settings. This will be a tuffy...since I first have to add a real function to determine the try PCI bus speed to begin the process. Andre Hedrick The Linux IDE guy
