What exactly is the problem with the Ultrastor probe?? Please be specific. I wrote the 24F (EISA) probe virtually line by line from the spec. The only problem I know of which is now fixed, is that there was a faulty test to see if a 24F card was in wd emulation mode. >From what I can follow in this thread you're talking about two different things here. The driver will certainly detect a 24F and use the proper card settings. It does not (and as far as I know no driver does) check test to see if the EISA chipset is buggy. I'm not sure what changed in 2.x but it would be nice to have config support for all the different bus types rather than hardcoding all the different methods in each driver. Better yet, it would be nice to just nuke config entirely. - Steve steve2@genesis.nred.ma.us
