I'm staggered by this. The *only reason* for having this change is to get past the 1/2 socket limitation when running Windows desktop guests. It has no impact on any other guests, whatsoever. You can easily download an eval of Windows 10 to try this out with. You do not (and have never) required ATA support to run Windows on bhyve. >> Standard MFC time is 3 weeks. > > Can you point to this some place?

And why the rush ? I'm yet to understand what the urgency for this work is ? Who is demanding it ? later, Peter.
