The ATA drivers work great for me. I see no speed change in transfer rate, and an increase in interrupts, but I expect better performance when DMA has been implemented. Boot time has decreased from about 40 seconds to about 7 seconds as well, something I've long wanted! You seem to have forgotten to update files.i386 and sys/conf/options for atapi-fd and for ATA_STATIC_ID, but that's not too bad, and easily fixed on my side. Guess what, though? afd0: rewriteable drive at ata1 as master afd0: 120MB (246528 sectors), 963 cyls, 8 heads, 32 S/T, 512 B/S And read/write work both flawlessly! Thanks for all your work!
