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.
