I'll quit the ATA/ATAPI development/maintenance if this goes in quickly. There are alot of issues here that needs solutions. It will need a *serious* maintainer that handles all aspects of it, especially dealing with error reports for one thing, technically it needs to be brought to a state where it works on alot more HW that seems to be the case for now, and the integration into the ATA driver should be dealt with a bit differently. -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
