As I have allready stated, I'm on to it, but given the gigantic
(!NOT) response I have gotten so far, NOONE really seems to care
about it,

SO GUYS IF YOU WANT A FUNCTIONAL ATA/ATAPI DRIVER READ MY POSTING !!!

I will spend what I have of time on it, but I don't have a budget
that allows me to go out and buy zillions of different devices....

               So much code to hack -- so little time.
