They are all detected, but none work! I'm surprised to hear this, but it has been a long time since I specifically tested 8bit wd8003e's. Still, I can't think of any changes to the driver that could have broken this. It sounds like an interrupt conflict with another card - the driver doesn't even initialize the irq for those cards since they don't have soft configuration - the irq is hard strapped on the card. ...So I'm at a loss to understand how it could be missing the interrupt. I suppose that problem could be elsewhere in the driver, however... -DG
