unfortunately not, I did not even know it existed before this thread.
I must admit I have still not had a look at it, but on the other hand:
if it makes big IDE drives work on old mobo & bios, it may be a good
idea to include its intelligence into the kernel, or not?
Yes, I know that people nowadays tend to strip down _old_ stuff from
the current sources, but I guess it is not a big loss in code size
either, is it?
knock, knock .. hello IDE maintainer, how about a Xmas present ?
:-)
