Erhm, well, lets se...
It shouldn't take long to do the driver, its more how much time I can
devote to it. Also the entire wd/atapi driver mess cries for a major
overhaul. My plan is to get a working version with the current
driver system, and then take the plunge on a new ide/atapi system.
My guess is a (maybe limitted functionality) driver for -current as
is in a couble of weeks if I dont get swamped in other (pay) work.
