I agree but it atleast it has code for the controller to come and go and that part worked. A few people have asked for this feature so I thought I'd try it and get comments/help. So with this you don't have to reboot after swapping cards around. The major change was the newbus resources & id's need to be saved so it could be unregistered from newbus on detach. Also another problem is probably the incrementing lun's for the the controller. It should scan for the first available one in the ata_devices array after (0 or 1 since they seems to be special). | However find below my version of your previous patch set, please let | me know how it works (I have no way of testing it here)... | There are a few other cosmetic changes in there, this is part of | the next update, and not all was easily pulled out... I tested with my external CD-Rom & hard disk (with and with an internal IDE drive attached) and it worked fine. To save you time I could add the controller removal part to your patches so you have working code for that part? Thanks for looking at it, Doug A.
