Thanks, Steve.

My microdrive works fine on the IDE bus - just not with FreeBSD :(
=20
Works OK with NetBSD, OpenBSD and also Ubuntu linux...I will look closer =
at
the ata driver and see what the differences are to the NetBSD version.

I have a microdrive that's finicky also. Seems the problem is it's a =
1.8V
card, which is not standard (standard appears to be 5V or 3.3V). It =
will
not work, period, in a CF<->IDE converter, or in a PCMCIA<->CF =
converter.
It works fine, however, in *some* USB card readers, namely the cheapo =
ones
off ebay, but not the expensive ones I bought at the local office supply
store. I suspect that is the problem, at least it was for me.=20

Is there a simple fix to make FreeBSD ata recognize the drive?
NB there is a simmilar question about using the same card in a pccard
adapter,

which appears to have been resolved?
Thank You
