Ehm, you mean because the HW design on the board is broken, or because the chip hasn't ATA66 support ? I the first case there is nothing we can do about it, in the second case we will utilize what the chip can... > I met somebody who programmed BIOSes and such ... We dont use the BIOS for ATA DMA....

The motherboard has to be severely broken if a PCI controller wont work... What HW are we talking about here ? -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
