I understand your frustration. In particular with teh ata code..
Soeren is having a very hard time because ther eare so many broken
implementations out there that trying to get one going seems to often break
another. It seems an impossible task... Te=he manufacturers all seem to only
test with windows so unless we exactly duplicate the windows drivers
we may almost never be able to get it all to work perfectly..
I sometimes feel we should all hold hands and have a 'healing circle and
blessing and ask that our various deities smile on Soeren's task
and through divine intervention illuminate teh one true path through the maze.
(can you tell I'm still on "the good stuff" after a small surgery yesterday :-)
