I am not part of this debate.........I just wanted to inform ever one that there is the potential for 12 (E)IDE devices. I could with time get 16, but it would be a waste of time.... Since my current suggested patch is in the circle file...........
As for the cryptic whatevers.........until I can solve the simultanious probing and multi-mounting of IDE-CD changers for dynamic accessing of any loaded disk...........it is not a factor for me yet.
Comming up with a working solution that could be similar to LUNs wrt to SCSI devices is one of my current puzzles..........
