Eventually at There also exist cases where the chipset is supported but a particular functionality isnīt supported yet (in my case itīs the possibility to access MS-DOS formated ZIP-disks, harddisk access works well, and Iīm not the only one with this problem (not counting the people which have not tried to use the ata driver but need to access MS-DOS-ZIPs too)). And I think itīs better to spend someones time with other issues than with digging into the wd driver.
