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 ? :-)
