Numerous users have expressed these exact concerns over the last
few months. When I brought my concerns to Soren's attention, I was given
the same answer you gave. However, new functionality doesn't help users
with hardware that used to work but now doesn't.
I think that both of you have identified part of the problem, but
you're only focusing on the parts you care about, which is why you're
talking past each other. On the one hand, we have a clearly defined
problem; namely that certain fast CD-ROM's don't work with the new ATA
code. On the other, David's concern about finding all the problems before
trying to work on something that might not actually be the problem.
So the question at this point is, does enabling dma mode fix the
problem with the big drives?
