hello
is it supported under FreeBSD to use 2 IDE controller cards at the same IRQ
(14) and at different port adresses - i ask because i get an "not probed due
to IRQ conflict ..." - if i try it - this way it would be very easy to add
more than 2 IDE disks to a system (i don't want to discuss the performance of
that) - nearly all no name ide-controller cards allow to select the secondary
port but not to use IRQ 15 for instance - Linux supports this configuration
(two controllers at IRQ 14) and i think it should'nt be hard for a wdc guru to
insert it also into FreeBSD - it's in the linux IDE driver (file
linux/drivers/block/ide.c - kernel version >= 1.2.0) - it would be nice if
someone could look at it (... or tell me that it now works with FreeBSD too -
maybe i only don't know it) - thanks in advance - t
