Then I'd be running away screaming ;) I can tell you though, that a new incarnation of the ata drivers wont have support for the old st506 & ESDI controllers. Its simply too much junk to carry around. However we will still carry the old wd driver that will support those antiques. As for the bad144 code, well, it has never solved my problems, just added some :) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..
