Re: sata_promise pata connector

I even wanted to port original driver from promise to 2.6 kernel...but
because at that time it was one of the moments when pata port "is coming
soon", I decided to not spent time for useless thing :)
Later my PATA drive which was connected to this port has died , so I
have lost interest and migrate to 2.6 kernel without any problems :)

I don't know how it is going now, but...
I still can do it.

Jeff, has it sense to port that damn driver finally or not?

Anton.
