WinSloth95 so I can burn some CDs 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. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..
