I seem to have ignited a major discussion.. My plans to test it where present for quite some time. But because I loaned my ESDI controller to someone, switched jobs etc it took WAY to much time to actually do it. > Hurrah! The day is saved. But that's only the beginning.

No docs and no status whether it works at all (hardware wise). It might be interesting to note that a previous patched seagate driver (rel to 1.1.5 I think) produced by Steve Gerakines (insert ??? here) worked OK. I once installed 1.1 from CDROM using a patched bootflop.
