Recently I bought a new hard disk. This meant that I had to move one of my existing IDE drives so I moved the CD to the (previously unused) IDE interface on my SB 16 and edited ide.c so that it probes for the third interface.
Things _appear_ to work, however during boot up I get
hde: probing with STATUS instead of ALTSTATUS
Occasionally the message is repeated a couple of times
There's a comment in the source code about this being to do with old Seagates. Should I be concerned about this or is it a "feature" of the SoundBlaster IDE interface?
Regards
Paul.
